2 BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY

Trusty Dick Penderell ; in a square^ with his mo
nu7)ient ; J. Cauljield; 1796.

Richard Penderell, and his brother William, were chiefly instru-
mental to the escape of Charles II. after the fatal battle of Worces-
ter. There were six brothers of this family, who rented little farms
on the borders of Staffordshire, and were frequently employed as
labourers in cutting down timber. The king took shelter, the first
night after his escape, at White Ladies, a house belonging to the
Giffards, about twenty miles from Worcester. Here he put on a
leather doublet and a green jerkin, cut his hair short, and threw his
clothes into a privy. Richard went with him into a wood, where
he was concealed the whole day ; during which time he had no-
thing to eat or drink. He afterward attended him many miles on
foot, and came back with him to one of his brother's houses, where
he found Major Careless, who accompanied him in Boscobel Wood,
where they concealed themselves in an oak. The Penderells and
Mrs. Lane were among the small number of loyalists who were re-
warded afler the restoration. Richard died 8 Feb. 1671, and lies
buried in the church of St. Giles's in the Fields, London, where a
monument is erected to his memory. Tlie author of his epitaph
styles him '^ the great and unparalleled Penderell.'' See particulars
in an " Account of the Preservation of Charles H. after the Battle
of Worcester ; drawn up by himself, and published from the Ma*
nuscript in the Pepysian Library, by Sir David Dalrymple."*

* It appears, from the notes on this account, that Richard was the third brother ui
the Penderells, and that he was commonly called Trusty Richard. Pie and his fiv(
brethren lived at or near White Ladiet, in a little farm within the wood. Thej wen
employed in cutting down timber and watching it to prevent its being stolen. The^
subsisted chiefly upon tlie pro6t of some cow-grass. All the brothers were privy t<
the secret of the king's concealment; but Richard went many miles with him ti
assist him in his escape. t

Jack Ogle, who some time rode privately in the first troop of
guards, was notorious for his frolics and low humour. He inherited
a small estate, which he presently dissipated ; and had afterward
recourse to the gaming-table, with various success. . It is said, that
in a run of ill luck he lost his cloak, and borrowed his landlady's
red petticoat to carry with him to a muster ; and that the Duke of
Monmouth having a hint of it, ordered the whole troop to cloak, on
purpose to expose him.* One of his frolics had like to have cost
him his life. Having a quarrel in the streets with a French officer
of the foot-guards, who was a man of humour like himself, a chal-
lenge ensued, and they agreed to go into the fields to fight. A rab-
ble followed tliem in great expectation of a duel. ^ Before they got
thither the quarrel was made up ; but they ran with precipitation,
as if they were eager to engage, and leaped into a saw-pit. Here
they were discovered in a very ridiculous posture, as if they were
easing themselves. The disappointed mob presently saluted them
with a shower of stones and brickbats. Hard drinking, and an in-
famous distemper, are supposed to have hastened his death, which
happened in the d9th year of his ::ge. His sister, who waited on
the Countess of Inchequin, was said to have been one of the Duke
of York's mistresses.

and then became a Conformist again. He had been chaplain on
board the fleet, whence he was dismissed for an unnatural crime,
and was known to be guilty of perjury before he set up the trade of
witnessing.* He was successful in it beyond his most sanguine
expectation: he was lodged at Whitehall, and had a pension as-
signed him of 1200/. a year. He was a man of some cunning,
more effirohtery, and the most consummate falsehood. His im-
pudence supported itself under the strongest conviction, and he
suffered for his crimed, with all the constancy of a martyr. The
era of Oates's plot, was also the grand era of Whig and Tory ;

and he has the peculiar infamy of being the first of incendiaries, as
ke was the first of witnesses. — See the next reign.

as not only to confess himself guilty, but also to accuse two popish
priests, together with Green, Berry, and Hill, of being concerned
in the same crime. His testimony was, in some instances, con-
tradictory to Bedloe's, and even to itself. He was tried, and con-
victed of perjury; but having retracted his evidence in several
particulars relative to the plot, hi? punishment was remitted. It

JosiAH Keeling; in Gaulficld's ^^ Remarkable
Persons''

Josiah Keeling, a Salter in London, having unadvisedly arrested
the lord- mayor at the suit of Papillon and Dubois, the two ex-
cluded sheriffSfthought it prudent to make a discovery of the Rye-
house plot, to screen himself from the law. This plot, whether
real or fictitious, occasioned the shedding of some of the best blood
in the kingdom, and completed the triumph of the royal party.
We are told, that upon this discovery of Keeling, " a new evidence
office was erected at Whitehall,"* and that care was taken to
select such judges and juries as would answer the purposes of the
court. t An elaborate account of the Rye-house conspiracy, of
which the Duke of York had the garbling,! was written by Dr.
Sprat. The author has been so ingenuous as to retract the enor-
mous falsehoods with which he had charged Lord Russel, in that
book.§ Many more retractions are required, to make it an au-
thentic history. The " Secret History of the Rye-house Plot,"
written by Ford, lord Grey, is worth the reader's notice.

coDcessions as the commons might require of him. When the par-
liameDt sat at Oxford, he went about armed with sword and pistol,
which furnished a pretence for his accusation. The court party»
vho watched for an opportunity to retaliate a plot upon the ex-
clasionistSy persecuted him with unrelenting, violence. Dugdale
and other infamous witnesses, who had been informers against the
Papists, were retained against him. He defended himself with
^t spirit and ability, to the confusion of his adversaries : but the
jury, who were all zealous royalists, brought him in guilty. He
behared with a becoming fortitude at the place of execution, and
persisted in asserting his innocence to the last. He was executed
at Oxford, 31st August, 1681. — He was a man of a more enlarged
understanding than is commonly found in mechanics. His in*
genuity in his trade procured him employment among persons of
rank; some of whom he was afterward permitted to visit upon the
foot of a friend. His faults were, being too pragmatical, and in-
discreetly zealous for his religion. — His daughter was seamstress
to King William, a place worth 300/. a year. Dr. Swift informs
Q8, that ^' this noble person'* and himself were brought acquainted
by Lady Berkeley. See Swift's " Letters,'* vol. iv. p. 336, edit.

Thomas Venner, a wine-cooper, who acquired a competent

strongly possessed with the notions of the Millenariant , or Fifth
Monarchy Men, that he strongly expected that Christ was coming
to reign upon earth, and that all huinan government, except that
of the saints, was- presently to cease.' He looked upon Cromwell
and Charles H. as usurpers upon Christ's dpminion, and persuaded
his vtak brethren, that it was their duty to rise and seize upon the
kingdom in. his name. Accordingly a rabble of them, with Venner
at their head, assembled in the streets, and proclaimed King Jesus.
They were attacked by a party of the militia, whom they resolutely
engaged; as many of them believed themselves to be invulnerable.
They were at length overpowered by numbers, and their leader,

The roost signal instance of pare enibasiasra, that Iiatli ever occurred to me, is
that of Mr. John Mason, minister of Water Stratford, near Backingliam. He was
a roan of great stroplicity of behaviour, of the roost unaffected pietj, and of learning
and abilities far above the cororoon level, till he was bewildered bj the mysteries
of Calvinism, and infatuated with millenary notions. This cakii ai)d grave enthu"
siast was as firmly persuaded as he was of his own existence, and as strongly per'
suaded others, that he was the Elias appointed to proclaim the approach of Christy
who was speedily to begin the millennium and fi\ his throne at Water Stratford*
Crowds of people asserobled at this place who were fully convinced that this gfcat
era would presently coromenoe ; and especially after Mason had, in the most solemn
manner, affirmed to his sister and several other persons, that, as he lay on his b^d,
he saw Christ in all his majesty. - Never was there a scene of more frantic I'ov, ex-
pressed by singing, fiddling, dancing, and all the wildness of enthusiastic gestures
and rapturous vociferation, than was, for some time, seen at Stratford ; where a
mixed multitude assembled to hail the approach of King Jesus. Every vagabond
and village fiddler that could be procured bore a part in the rode concert at tins
tumultuous jubilee. Mason was observed to speak rationally on every subject thai
Lad no relation to his wild notions of religion. He died in 1695, soon after he
fancied that he had seen his Saviour, fiilly convinced of the reality of the vision
and of his own divine mission. See a particular Account of bis Life and Character

marching his pockets a letter was found addressed to the gpreat
'urk, in which he told him, that he was a scourge in the hand of
rod to chastise the wicked ; and that be sent him not only to de-
ounce, but to- execute vengeance. He was put on board a ship
ound for England, but found means to escape in his passage, and
eturned to Constantinople. He was soon after sent on board an-
ither ship, and so effectually secured, that he could not escape a
•econd time.*

James Tamer, a goldsmith, in London, and lieutenant-colonel of

the citj militia, was, for some time, esteemed a man of a genteel

spirit, which was always ohsenred to carry him far heyond the limits

of his fortone. His vices and extravagancies not only exhausted

lus patrimony, which was very considerable, but also involved him

in debt. Hence he betook himself to the lowest arts and most

villanous practices to maintain the figure of a gentleman. He was

executed for robbing the house of Mr. Francis Tryton, a merchant,

of jewels, and other things of value, to the amount of about 6000iL

He was ea^ecuted for this burglary in Lime-street, London, 22 Jan.

1663^. He expressed a true sense of his guilt at the place of

execution, and desired the minister who attended to read to him

the fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth

verses, of the second diapter of the Epistle to the Hebrews. He

left forty shillings to be distributed among the poor of the parish

wbere he suffered, and eighteen shillings and sixpence only to his

wife. See the '' Relation," &c p. 25.

lucoessful in both these enterprises : it was with no small difficulty
that the duke escaped, and the crown was wrested from his hands.
The cunning of this boldest of all thieves was equal to his intre-
pidity. He told the king, by whom he was examined, that he had
undertaken to kill him ; and that he went, with that purpose, to a
place in the river where he bathed ; but was struck with so profound
an awe upon sight of his (naked) majesty that his resolution failed
him, and he entirely laid aside his design : that he belonged to a
band of ruffians e(|ually desperate with himself, who had bound
themselves by the strongest oa&s to revenge the death of any of
their associates. Upon this he received the royal pardon, and had
a handsome pension assigned him. He was now no longer con-
sidered as an impudent criminal, but as a court favourite ; and ap-
plication was made to the throne by the mediation of Mr. Blood.*

le bad obtained his liberty^ he went to Jamaica to seek his fortune,
iere be fell in with some freebooters, and entered on board one of

le, in a short time, became a captain. He was afterward vice-
aidmiral under Mansvelt, an old pirate of prime notoriety, who died
soon after he engaged himself in his service. If the courage of
Morgan had been properly directed, it would have done him the
greatest honour : it was perhaps not inferior to that of Monck or
Itppert ; and several of his stratagems were as extraordinary as his
courage. But be was rapacious, cruel, and debauched, in the same
degree that he wa^ valiant. The cruelties exercised on the Indians
by the Spaniards were not equal to what that people suffered by his
orders, to make them discover their hidden treasures, after he had
taken and plundered their towns. The greatest of his exploits was
taking Panama, which he burnt and pillaged, after he had, with
twelve hundred men, defeated the governor, at the head of two
squadrons of horse, four regipients of foot, and a great number of
wild bulls, driven by Indian slaves.* One hundred and seventy-*
five beasts of burden were laden with the gold, silver, ai^d other
valuables which he took in that city. See a circumstantial account
of him in the " History of the Buccaneers," to which is prefixed

bandred pieces, or eighteen slaves ; for one leg, or one hand, six hundred pieces, or
six slaves; and for an eye, one hundred pieces, or pne slave. — ^The character of
Sir Henry Morgan appears in a much more favourable light in Edward's " History
of the West Indies," vol, iii. p. 136, &c. ** This very man (who by the way acted
under regular commissions and letters of reprisals from government), after he had
quitted the sea, was recommended by the Earl of Carlisle to be his successor in the
goveroiDent of Jamaica, and was accordingly appointed lieutenant-govenior, with
tbehonour of knighthood, from King Charles II. and passed the remainder of his
life on his plantation in Jamaica. By the kindness of a friend in that island, I have
bad an opportunity of perusing some of Sir Henry Morgan's original private letters;
)uui this I will say, that they manifest such a spirit of bumaoity, justice, liberality,
and piety, as prove that he has either been grossly traduced, or that he was the
■ greatest hypoaite living.*'

20 BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORt

This infamous woman was, from the natural effects of proBtitaiio&
in faer youth, far advanced in the decline before she had arriyedat
the meridian of her life. Her great experience in her former occu-
pation qualified her for a procuress ; and she soon became an adept
in all the diabolical arts of seduction. She lived in town in the
winter, and sometimes/retired into the country, where she provided
convenient lodgings for her customers, some of whom were penons
of distinction. Though she appeared in her real character in the
stews, she could assume a very decent behaviour upon proper occa-
sions ; and frequently decoyed young unsuspecting girls to London,
in hopes of preferment. She kept a very extensive correspondence,
and was, by her spies and emissaries, informed of the rising beauties
in different parts of the kingdom. The trade which she professed
was perhaps carried to a greater height at this period than any other.
This is plainly hinted at by a man of wit and pleasure, who some-
times dealt with her :

** To an exact perfection they have brought
The action love, the passion is forgot"* |2

Mother Ross, Mother Bennett, Mother Mosely, and Mother Beaii-
lie,t flourished, or rather decayed, in this reign : but of thes^

* She desired, by will, to have a sermon preached at her funeral, for which tbe
preacher was to have 101. ; but upon this express conditjon, that he was to say no^
thing but what was well of her. A preacher was, with some difficulty, found, who
undertook the task. He, after a sermon preached on the general subject of mortality^
and the good uses to be made of it, concluded by saying, By the tnll of the deceaxd,
it is expected that I should mention her, and say nothing but what was well of her, AS
that I shall say of her therefore is this : She was born well, she lived well, and she died
well; for she was' born with the name of Creswell, she lived in Clerkenwell, and she
died in Bridewell. I have seen this story in print, with some spurious additions.

Dr. Fuller, in his " Appeal of injured Innocence,''^ tells us, that " When one was
to preach the funeral sermon of a most vicious and generally hated person, all woD'
dered what he would say in his praise ; the preacher's friends fearing, his foes hoping
that, for his fee, he would force his conscience to flattery. For one thing, said the
minister, this man is to be spoken well of by all ; and for another thing, he is to be
spoken ill of by none. The first is because God made him ; the second, because be
is dead.''

22 BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY

Clavel, in his " Catalogue,*' mentions a narrative of her life, di^
ferent from this.

Mart Carleton, called the German Princess;
^. su(E 38. J. Caulfield.

This woman, who had more aliases to her name than any rogue in
the kingdom, was the daughter of a musician at Canterbury. Her
first husband was a shoemaker of that city, from whom she eloped
after four years' cohabitation. In a year or two after her elopement,
she married one Day a surgeon, whom she soon forsook, and went
into France and Germany, where she learned the languages of those
countries, and robbed and cheated several persons. Soon after her
return to England, she was married to John Carleton, the son of a
citizen in London, who pretended to be a nobleman. This man, as
well as many others, is said to have taken her for a German princess,
at least a woman of quality. She was soon after tried at the Old
Bailey, for bigamy, and acquitted : upon this she published an art-
ful vindication of herself, to which was prefixed her portrait. Sh^
was afterward an actress in one of the theatres. The rest of hei
life is a continued course of theft, robbery, and imposture ; in whicb
as she had a quick invention, great cunning, and an insinuating ad
dress, she was, perhaps, never exceeded. — If Mary Carleton ha<
actually been a princess, she had parts sufficient to have thrown *
kingdom into confusion ; and might have done as much mischief a
Catharine de Medicis did in France, or Henrietta Maria in England
Executed 1672.

MOLL FLANDERS^^i«i«^, watch in her hand.

Moll Flanders, an unfortunate female, although born in Newgate
(from whence her mother was transported for theft), does not seem t4
have had by nature any extremely vicious qualities. She was thre(
times married ; once to a highwayman, but as they were deceived ii
each other, they soon parted. At last she was transported for a theft
with, her husband the highwayman. The latter part seemed th<
most comfortable of their lives. She died in London near the ag<
of 77, probably about 1680, as Dan. de Foe wrote her life in 1683

cured his person, and conveyed him a prisoner to London, where he
underwent many examinations before Bradshaw. Being found,
however, more fool than knave, he was discharged on giving secu^

of frantic enthusiasm, was in one James Ball, a small-qoal-man,
who, although he was not engaged in the rencontre, after the execu-

' litis rery mysterious person was a younger brother of a respect-
able family, and having through friends procured a commission in
the army, went to serve in Flanders ; where he had not long con-
tinued, before he was broke'for cowardice, and became so reduced in
circumstances, as to accept forty shillings from a friend, to pay hia
passage back to England. Here, within a short time after his arri*
val,he appeared, to the astonishment of the public, the brightest star
m the hemisphere : his coaches, saddle, hunting, and race-horses,
equipage, dress, and table, were the admiration of the world, and
Qontinued so while they saw him maintain such profuse an expense,
without any visible means to support this glory. He never played,
or but inconsiderably, entertained with profuseness all who visited
him, drank himself liberally ; but at all hours, as well sober as
otherwise, he kept a strict guard upon his words ; though several
were either employed by the curiosity of others, or their own, to
take him at his looser moments, and persuade hira to reveal his
secret : but he so inviolably preserved it, that even their guesses
were but at random, and witliout probability or foundation. He
was not known to be an admirer of ladies ; and what added to the
surprise, was, that he was at all times to be found, and ever with
some of his own people, seemingly opeii in conversation, free from
spleen or shagrin ; in a word, he had that settled air, as if he were

ftd?i3ed him to purchase an estate while he had vieiiey : Mr. Wikoa
thanked him, bat said, he did not forget the future in the preset^ :
he was obliged to him for his counsel, but whilst he lived, it would
be ever thus, for be was always certain to be. master of such a sum
of money. This more and more confounded the world, for if they
would say he derived his good fortune from the ladies, there was
scarce any rich enough to support him,* neither did he bestow any
of his time unaccounted for ; and it was not to be believed the
fair sex would not exact attention and service for their money,
especially for such considend[>le sums. Those who pretended to
guess better, had recourse to chymistry, and said he had found the
grand secret, and was master of that invaluable transmuting stone^
or powder, which could convert meaner metals into gold. Some
blasted his reputation with the report, that he must once have
robbed a Holland mail of a considerable quantity of rough dia-
monds ; though another person suffered for the offence, denying the
fact to the last. Others would have it, that the Jews kept him,
with many other idle and ridiculous reports, which were circulated
concerning him, until the time he was found killed, going to fight a
duel with a Mr. Law, who it is reported ran him through the body,
before he could draw his sword in his own defence. Mr. Wilson
lived in unabated splendour to the last, and the mystery rather
augmented than diminished, when a very inconsiderable sum of
money being all that could be found after his death, left the world
to conjecture from what source or funds he had derived means to
support his state and magnificence.

REMARKS ON DRESS.

The Monmouth, or military cock of the hat, was much worn in
this reigOy and continued a considerable time in fashion.

The periwig, which had been long used in France, was intro-
duced into England soon after the restoration.

There is a tradition, that the large black wig which Dr. R. (aw-
linson) bequeathed, among other things of much less consideration,
to the Bodleian Library, was worn by Charles XL*

Some men of tender consciences were greatly scandalized at
this article of dress, as equally indecent with long hair; atid more
culpable, because more unnatural. Many preachers inveighed
against it in their sermons, and cut their hair shorter, to express
their abhorrence of the reigning mode.

It was observed, that a periwig procured many persons a respect,
and even veneration, which they were strangers to before, and to
which they had not the least claim from their personal merit. The
judges, and physicians, who thoroughly understood this magic of
the wig, gave it all the advantage of length, as well as size.

The extravagant fondness of some men for this unnatural oma<^
meat is scarce credible : I have heard of a country gentleman who
employed a painter to place periwigs upon the heads of several
of Vandycks's portraits.

Mr. Wood informs us, that Nath. Vincent, D. D. chaplain in
ordinary to the king, preached before him at Newmarket, in a long
periwig . and Holland sleeves, according to the then fashion for
gentlemen; and that his majesty was so offended at it, that he
commanded the Duke of Monmouth, chancellor to the university
of Cambridge, to see the statutes concerning decency of apparel
put in execution ; which was done accordingly .f

* '* As to the king's more priyate ordering his family, in the beginning of October,
1666, bis majesty, to promote frugality and decency in habit, and to discourage the
extravagancy of French fashions, made a solemn and peremptory declaration of the
fashion of bis apparel, which he resolved to Mrear for the future. It was strain
Spanish breeches ; instead of a doublet, a long vest down to the mid-leg; and above
Uiat a loose coat, after the Muscovite or Polish way ; the sword girt over the vest ;
snd instead of shoes and stockings, a pair of buskins or brodekins. Which habit
was found to be very decent and becoming to his majesty, and was for a considerable
time ased and followed by the chief of his courtiers." — Eachard's " Hbtory of
England," ii. p. 836.
t " Athen, Oxon." u. coi. 1033.

28 BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY

The satin cap was no longer worn, and the formal screwed-ap
face was, for the most part, chained for a more natural and uncon*
strained aspect*

The lace neckcloth became in fashion in this, and continued to
be worn in the two following, reigns.

Open sleeves, pantaloons, and shoulder knots, were also worn
at this period, which was the era of shoe-buckles : but ordinary
people, and such as affected plainness in their garb, continued for
a long time after, to wear strings in their shoes.

The clerical habit which, before it is grown rusty, is a very
decent dress, seems not to have been worn in its present form
before the reign of Charles Il.f

The ladies' hair was curled and frizzled with the nicest art, and
they frequently set it off with heartbreakers.t Sometirties a string
of pearls, or an ornament of riband, was worn on the head ; and, in
the latter part of this reign, hoods of various kinds were in fashion.

Patching and painting the face, than which nothing was more
common in France, was also too common among the ladies in Eng-
land.§ But what was mucb worse, they affected a mean betwixt
dress and nakedness ; which occasioned the publication of a book,
entitled *' A just and seasonable Reprehension of naked Breasts

* Dr. Eachard tells us, that we had a great plenty of religiouifaee'mahers in the late
nealous time8,\\ ** Then it was/' says lie, " that godliness chiefly consisted in the
management of the eye ; and he that had the least pupil was the most righteous,
because most easily concealed by the rolling white. Then it was that they would
scarce let a round-faced man go to heayen ; but if he had but a little blood in his
cheeks his condition was counted rery dangerous i and it was almost an iniaiiible
sign of absolute reprobation." Nothing is more certain than that black satin caps,
tipped and edged with white, were then worn by some divines to give au appear-
ance of languor and mortification to the countenance.

It has been gravely asserted by some presbyterian writers that the cloak is apos-
tolical, as we read that St Paul left his cloak at Tn)as.1[ But^ for this very reason,
it may be concluded, that he did not constantly preach in it.

t As to the form of the ancient clerical habit, see in Jo. Johnson's " Collection of
Ecclesiastical Laws,*' &c. the second constitution of Archbishop Stratford, in 1343.

Thiers, in his " Treatise of Perukes," informs us, that no ecclesiastics wore a
band** before the middle of the last ceutury, or a peruke before the restoration. .

origin from the falling band, which is divided under the ohin.

ind Shoulders, with a Preface by Richard Baxter." — I scarce ever
see a portrait of a lady by Sir Peter Lely, but I think of the follow-
Qg passage of Seneca : " Video sericas vestes, si vestes vocandse
sunty in quibus nihil est quo defendi aut corpus, aut denique 'pudor
)ossit: quibus sumptisy mulierparum liquido nudam se non esse
urabit."*

It appears from the '^ Memoires de Grammont," that green stock-
ings were worn by one of the greatest beauties of the English court.

If any one would inform himself of the dresses worn by our
ancestors, he should make his observations in country churches,
in the remote parts of the kingdom ; where he may see a great
variety of modes of ancient standing. It is not unusual among
people of the lower classes, for a Sunday coat to descend from
father to son ; as it is put on the moment before the wearer goes
to church, and taken off as soon as he returns home. I have seen
several old women in beaver hats, which I have good reason to
believe were made in the reign of Charles the Second.t

Richmond herald. He was a good tfoldier; of which he gave
some signal proofs in his wars with the Danes, the Marquis of Bran.
denburgh, and the Duke of Brunswick Lunenburg. He was a
prince of great penetration, frugality, and industry ; but proud,
selfish, and tyrannical. He deprived the senate of the share in the
government which they had formerly possessed, and erected an'
arbitrary court called ** the Chamber of Liquidations,*' by which
multitudes of his subjects were reduced to extreme poverty and
distress. His haughty and severe treatment of his queen, who was
one of the best of women, threw her into a distemper that hastened
her death. He died the 1 5th of April, 1687, and was succeeded
by his son Charles XII. The queen-regent, his mother, buried
him with more pomp than had been seen in Sweden, and obliged
her subjects to mourn for him three years.

Christian, king of Denmark, and Frederick. William, marquis of
Brandenburg, sumamed the Great, were^also elected knights of the
Garter, in this reign.

The Cardinal de Retz, who, in the early part of his life, affected t(
be the beau, the gallant, and the duellist, entered into holy order
with reluctance, and purely in obedience to the commands of hi
father. He was a man of an insinuating address, persuasive elo
qtience, and vehement thirst of power. Many of the greatest mei
and women in France were the tools of his wanton ambition, ant
helped to place him at the head of a faction that expelled Mazarin
from the kingdom. He proceeded so far as to set a price upon hi
head. But his triumph was of short duration : his great and lofb
spirit was presently humbled, and Mazarine triumphed in his turi:
He was, in the latter part of his life, after the fervour of his passion
had spent itself, a truly good and amiable character. He ha
drawn his own portrait in his " Memoirs," which are numbered witl
the classic writings of his age and country.* The Earl of Claren
don informs us, that he was so ingenuous as to tell Charles II. tha
if he changed his religion, he would never be restored to his king
doms.f Yet it is sufficiently evident that he applied to the pop'
in that prince's behalf, to entreat his holiness to lend him sonx
assistance towards his restoration.]: It is certain that the cardina
was in England incognito, soon after that fortunate event.§ 01

Hannibal Sehested, lord of Tybierg, and grand treasurer of Den-
marky is celebrated in the history of that country, for his valour and
conduct as a general, and his knowledge, ability, and address, as a
statesman and ambassador. In the reign of Christian IV. he was,
for his eminent services, rewarded with the vice-royalty of Norway,
where he led the king's forces against the Swedes, with such signal
success, that this war is in the annals of Denmark distinguished by
the appellation of The War o/HannibaL In the reign of Frederic III.
he, for secfet reasons, was deprived of his government of Norway,
forbidden to appear at court, and degraded from his rank ; and the
bulk of his fortune was confiscated. In 1655, he retired with his
family to Antwerp, where he entered into the service of Charles 11,
who employed him in several negotiations.* He was afterward
taken prisoner by the Swedes, and was some time with their army
which was to act against Denmark. During his captivity, he did
Frederic such eminent service, that, when a peace was concluded
with Sweden, he was received by him with open arms, and perfectly
reinstated in his confidence and favour. He was afterward sent in
quality of ambassador extraordinary to the courts of England and
France. 06. 1666.

Mark Gioe, lord of Brahesborg, who had formerly visited Eng-

his residence in England, which was about ^even years, he became
enamoured with Elizabeth Mary Thomson, a lady of distinguished
beauty, wit, and modesty, whom, in 1676, he espoused, but left no

shifted his flag to four different ships. This put an end to the ani-

The Count de Grammont, who had served as a yolunteer under
the Prince of Cond^, and Turenne, came into England about two
years after the restoration. He was under a necessity of leaving
France, as he had the temerity to make his addresses to a lady to
whom Lewis XIV. was known to have a tender attachment. H^
possessed, in a high degree, every qualification that could render
him agreeable to the English court. He was gay, gallant, and per-
fectly well bred ; had an inexhaustible fund of ready wit, and told
a story with inimitable grace and humour. Such was his vivacity,
that it infused life wherever he came ; and, what rarely happens, it
was so inofiensive, that every one- of the company appeared to be as
happy as himself. He had great skill and success in play, and
seems to have been chiefly indebted to it for his support. Several
of the ladies engaged his attention upon his first coming over ; but

He wrote one comedy, which had no success in the action ; and,
what is worse, was universally thought to have deserved none. He
was very awkward at displaying his talent in conversation. He coold
easily disco? er other men's characters, though they could not see

of writing did not please, he received orders to leave the kingdom,
and in 1682 retired to Amsterdam. His works, especially his his-

the years of his life.f I shall mention only such as relate to Eng-

He is one of those writers to whom we know not how to give credit,
unless his facts verify themselves, oi arc supported by much better
anthoritj than his own. Ue, on some occasions, assumes all the
dignity of conceited ignorance, and relates his fictions with all the
confidence of a vain man, who thinks he cannot be contradicted.

vith his anecdotes, frequently amused and misled his readers. En-

1667. This has been, copied.

Samuel Joseph Sorbiere was born of obscure parents in France,
where he was some time private tutor to a younger son of the Count
de la Suze, and afterward an usher to a school. He was educated
in the Protestant religion, but reconciled himself to that of Rome,
and obtained considerable preferment in the church. He studied
physic, history, and philology; was a profbssed admirer of Mr.
HobbeSy whose '' Politics^ he translated. He also translated Sir
Thomas More's ** Utopia,'* and part of Camden's " Britannia," for
the great '' Atlas," printed in Holland. He travelled into Italy,
Germany, and the Low Countries, where he insinuated himself into
the acquaintance of the literati, of whom Lewis XIV. styled him the
Trumpeter. His Elogies of Gassendus, and De Marca, archbisbop
of Paris, are among the most considerable of his works, and helped
to gain him the office of historiographer-royal. He was ever of a
rambling disposition, and had a strong propensity to pleasure. He
came into England in this reign ; and it is observable that he tra-
velled from Dover to London in a common stage- waggon. He was
graciously received by the king, \raa elected fellow of the Royal
Society, and had many civilities paid him by persons of distinction
and eminence. He, in his '' Voyage to England,*' does justice to
the characters of some of our learned men ; but is frequently par-
tial, false, and injurious in his representations of persons and things.
It can scarcely be supposed, that the metropolis, with all its inha^
bitants, nor indeed Great Britain itself, should make a very cobb^
derable figure, when seen through the medium of that vanity whid
was extremely natural to a French pedant, and one who was then I
pensioner to the vainest prince in the world. He died the 9th of
April, 1670. The author of his " Life" tells us, that finding his end
approaching, he took a large dose of laudanum, on purpose to
die in a state of stupefaction. Df.. Sprat has well lashed this con-
ceited pedant with his own rod* See his spirited '' Observatiosf

THEODORE UAAK; from an original picture in
the Bodleian Gallery y Oxford. E. Harding sc. 4to.

Theodore Haak was bom in the year 1605, at Wormd, in the Pa*
iatinate ; but urged either by a thirst of knowledge, or the troubled
state of affairs in his own country, he came to England when only
twenty years of age, and remained a short time at the universities of
Oxford and Cambridge. From these he proceeded to visit the
several seats of learning in other countries ; and having passed three
yeafs in travelling, he entered himself a commoner of Gloucester-
hall, Oxford, ia 1620, where be resided till 1632, but did not take a
degree, though he was admitted into deacon's orders by Dr. John
Hall, bishop of Exeter.

During the German wars, he was appointed a procurator to receive
die benevolence-money raised in several diocesses in England, to
be transmitted to the seat of war. He was afterward invited by
the elector palatine to accept the office of his secretary, which si-
tuation he declined, as well as that of resident at London, for the
city of Hamburgh. But in consequence of the various opmions
which were entertained on questions of religion, and of the expe-
diency which Cromwell saw of directing the national attention to a
setded form of worship, a favourable opportunity offered of display-
ing and employing the talents and industry of Haak.
. The Assembly of Divines, which met at Westminster in 1 643, having
resolved that no better confession of faith could be presented to the
people than that declared by the synod of Dort» known by the title
of the Dutch Annotations ; an ordinance was passed March 30tb,
1M9, forbidding all persons, except Theodore Haak, or his assignees,
to publish any translation of the said work, on penalty of 1000/.
There is also an entry on the Journals, about the same time, '' That
Ok services of Theodore Haak in Denmark, should be taken into
consideration on that day three weeks."

To the translation (which was published intwo volumes fol. in 1637)

^■1 attestation was prefixed from the Assembly of Divines, com-

taiding Haak for his '^ faithfulness in many public employments,

ted his dexterity in translating many English books of practical

JOBUS LUDOLFUS, serenissimorum Saxoniae Du-
cum Consiliarius intimus. Bernigeroth sc. Before his
" LifCy' in Latifiy by JunckeVy 1710, small 8w.

Job Ludolf, who was descended from a good family, at Erfurt,
in Thuringia, was a privy-counsellor to Frederic, duke of Saxony,
whose education he superintended. He also bore several honour-
able employments under the Emperor Leopold and some of the
electors of the empire. He was a master of music and other ele-
gant accomplishments^ had a strong and clear head for business,
and acquitted himself with uncommon address as a public minister.
But his knowledge as a linguist is almost beyond credibility. He is
said to have understood five-and-twenty languages,* and had un-
doubtedly a more exact knowledge of the Ethiopic and old Abyssi-
nian than any learned man of his age. He was personally known
to Dr. Pococke, Dr. Hyde, and Dr. Edward Bernard, with whom
he contracted an acquaintance at Oxford. He also visited Mr.
Boyle, Isaac Vossius, Dr. Castle, Sir William Dugdale, Sir John
Chardin, and Mr. Ashmole,t in London. He was able to hold a
conversation with these eminent persons in English, having been
three times in this country. He came hither twice in the year 1683;

* If we may credit his biographer, he learned the Hebrew, Chaldee, Samaritan,S;-
rtac, Armeniao, and surmounted almost all the difficulties of the Arabic in one jear4
That he spoke the Ethiopic with a proper accent is an acknowledged fact. It is no less
certain, that the aptness and facility of his genius for this kind of learning was to the
highest degree astonishing. If what u said of him be true, it gives credibilitj to the
story of Mithridates, who must, however, be deemed his inferior as a linguist But
if he had well understood ^v« only of these languages, he would perhaps have been
unrivalled by any andent or modem. It has, with great appearance of truth been
observed, that no man was ever a per/ect master of iuore than one language, which
must have been that in which he has long been accustomed to write and converse.

once, at least, in pursuit cf a scheme which he seems to have had
mach at heart, and which was greatly approved of by Leopold.
This was to engage several of the European princes in a treaty of
commerce, and a league offensive and defensive with the King of
Ethiopia against the Turks, who threatened the empire ; and con-
sequently the liberties of Europe. Charles IL received him gra-
ciously, paid attention to his proposal, and referred him to the East-
India company, from whom he met with no encouragement. He
died the 8th of April, 1704, in the 80th year of his age. Be-
sides an Ethiopic Grammar and Lexicon, he published a '' His-
tory of Ethiopia,'* which was translated by J. P. gent, and printed
in folio, in 1684. See more of him in his remarkable " Life,*' by
Christian Juncker, subjoined to which is a curious specimen of the
language of the Hottentots.

Antoinette Bourignon ; preji.ved to her " Life /'

Antoinette Bourignon was one of those devotees who imagine
themselves to be conducted by some particular inspiration. She was
bom at Lisle in 1616, and was very much deformed. Her father
had promised her in marriage to a Frenchman ; but she determin-
ing not to marry, went away on Easter-day, 1636. Her design was
to retire into some desert; she clothed herself therefore like a her-
mit, and got forward as fast as she could ; but in a village of Hain-
ault, somebody suspecting her to be a young woman, stopped her ;
and it being mentioned to the archbishop of Cambray, he came to
ermine her, dissuaded her from a hermit's life, and obliged her
to return to Jier father. She was soon afterward persecuted with
proposals of marriage, which occasioned her to run away once more.
Among other places she resorted to in her wandering, she visited
Scotland in the reign of Charles II. She afterward was governess
of a hospital, and there locked herself up in a cloister, having taken
the order and habit of St. Augustin. — She published several books ;
and died at Franeker, in the province of Frise, Oct. 30, 1680.

Jacobub IL Sec* 8vo, in a sheets with his dying wards.

The history of this reign consists of little more than the weak and
irregular efforts of a bigoted and tyrannical prince to introduce
popeiy ; an attempt so big with absurdity, that it did not meet with
tbe least encouragement from the pope himself. The capacity of
James was by no means equal to the subversion of those deep and
solid foundations which supported the civil and religious liberties
of his people. The share which he had in his father's su£ferings
had not sufficiently taught him, ihBi jealousy of the royal prerogative
is a fundamental principle in the English constitution. He was so
violent and precipitate in his conduct, that he never failed to coun-
teract his own purposes.* Every step he took to advance his
power, helped greatly to destroy it ; and he establishe(]^ the Pro-
testant religion on a firmer basis than ever, by his wild attempts to
introduce that of the church of Rome. Though he ascended the
throne with almost every advantage, he could never sit easy in it :
and having taught even the advocates of non-resistance to resist, he
was forced to relinquish a crown which he was absolutely unfit to
wear. He fled into France, where the palace of St Germain was
assigned him ; but the convent of La Trappe would have been a
mudi more suitable retreat. t He died 6 Sept. 1701. His body
was deposited in the monastery of the Benedictines at Paris, his brain
in the church of St. Andrew, belonging to the Scotch College, in
that city, and his heart in the nunnery of Chaillot. It is well known
that he supplied father Orleans with materials to write his history.

This princess, who descended from the ancient house of Este,
was adopted daughter of Lewis XIV. who presented her with a
suitable portion upon her marriage with James, when duke of York.
The graces of her person and behaviour gained her all that popu-
larity which usually attends beauty on the most elevated station*
But her haughtiness, her bigotry, and her busy and intriguing
spirit, sunk her greatly in the popular esteem, after she became a
queen. Wheb she fled ihto France, she was kindly received b$

The. revenge of the Earl of Soiithesk on King James, when duke
of York, who is said to have caught a virulent distemper, which
that nobleman communicated with design to his lady, was supposed
to be the occasion of the death of several of the children that he
had by both his queens,^ and gave credit to the report of the prince
being a supposititious child. In 1696, was published a pamphlet,
entitled, " A Brief Discovery of the true Mother of the pretended
Prince of Wales, &c. by William Fuller, gent, some time Page of
Honour to the late Queen, in France.'' The author t^Ils us, that
the pretended prince was son of one Mary Gray, an Irish woman-,
who, in May 1688, was brought over to England, in the Mon-
mouth yatch, by the Countess of Tyrconnel. That she was deli-
vered of a child at St. James's, on the 10th of June following; and
about the middle of July was, against her inclination, conveyed to
the content of Benedictine nuns at Paris, whence she soon after
made her escape. That he was commanded by the queen to go to
England, with letters to Lord Montgomery, and others, in relation
to this woman ; and that they were *' ta take care to place people
on the coast of England, that might inform them when she landed^

and then they were positively commanded to use all endeavours to
get her dispatched, to prevent whatever design she might pretend
to/' But being, as he informs us, soon apprehended in France,
and effectually secured, he believed that she was murdered ; as he
could not get the least intelligence of her, though he had made the
strictest inquiry. The well-known story of conveying the child to
the queen's apartment, in a warming-pan, is attributed to Fuller.
But it should be observed, that Mrs. Margaret Dawson, one of the
gentlewpmeii of the queen's bed-chamber deposed, that '^ she saw
fire carried into the queen's room, in a warming-pan, to warm the
bed ; after which the queen went into her bed ; and that the depo-

In " Noble Authors,'' by Mr. Park; 1806.

At Amesbury is a half length of him by Sir Peter Lely.
Laurence Hyde, second son of the Lord- chancellor Clarendon,
was employed in the late reign, in several important embassies and
negotiations ; in which he acquitted himself to the king's satisfac-
tion. In 1679, he was appointed first commissioner of the trea-
sury, upon the resignation of the Earl of Essex. About the same
time, he, with Mr. Sidney Godolphin, was admitted into the
privy council ; and they both shared the confidence of the Earl of
Sunderland. This triumvirate had, for some time, the principal
management of the king's affairs. He appeared at the head of that
party, in the House of Commons, who opposed the exclusion of the
Duke of York. This occasioned an address from that house to the
king, to remove him from his presence and council for ever : but he
Created was soon after created baron of Wotton Basset, viscount Hyde,
^^^^' and earl of Rochester. In the last year of Charles H. he was
made president of the council ; and upon the accession of James,
lord high-treasurer of England* .Though he was one of the eccle-
siastical commission, he refused to comply with the king's request
of changinjg his religion, which occasioned the resignation of his
office of treasurer, in lieu of which he had a pension assigned him of
5000/. a year. He had much of the elevated spirit of his father, but
was greatly inferior to him in capacity. King William, who seems
never to have had any cordial affection for him, declared, that the
year, in which he had the management of his afiairs, was the most
uneasy of his whole life. Upon the change of the ministry in 1710,
he succeeded Lord Somers, as president of the council. Ob. 2 May,
1711.*

*'Lanrence, earl of Rochester, and Henry, earl of Clarendon, his brother, were
the undoubted editors of their father's " History of the Rebellion." This will, per-
haps, sufficiently appear from the preface to that work; but it is fully confirmed
in Dr. John Burton's " Genuineness of Lord Clarendon's Historj."t The follow-
ing passage, in the same tract,t is too much to the honour of the Earl of Rochester

hut these he. declined in disgust ; as Charles, towards the close of
his reign, refused to perform his promise of summoning a parlia-
inent. Upon the accession of James, he was appointed president
of the council ; but as he could not be persuaded to give his con-
sent to the repeal of the tests, he was told by his miyesty, that
" though he could never forget his past services, yet since he could
not comply in that point, he was resolved to have all of a piece ;''
ftnd was therefore dismissed from his public employments.f In the
convention parliament, he was chosen speaker of the House of Lords ;
vhere, with his usual eloquence, he pleaded for the necessity of
supplying the vacant throne with the Prince and Princess of
Orange ; upon whose accession, he was again made lord privy-

ti ptM nnobseTTed. The author, speaking of Edward, earl of Clarendon, says,
" 1 cannot omit Uiis remarkable circamstance in favour of his innocency, Uiat when
^ tamaltaoos perplexed charge of accumulated treasons was preferred against him
V the commons, his son Laurence, then a member of that house, stept forth with
^bfive defiance to his accusers, that if they could make out any proof of any one
ib^ article, he would, as he was authorized, join in the condemnation of his
(kther. It appears that this challenge was not given in vain ; and the general good
opinion of the world ever since has vindicated the innocency of the unpopular mi-
nister, and, in a manner, reversed the effect of that arbitrary injurious sentence."

* Frequent mention is made of him, under the appellation of lord privy teal, in
Sir John Reresb/s *' Meinoirs."

t He was succeeded in hiy post of president of the council, by the Earl of San-

was not only an advocate for the dispensing power, but he sat in
the ecclesiastical commission ; not with a view of introducing po-
pery, as he seems to have been at least indifferent to all religions,
but purely from a zeal of serving his sovereign. It must, however,
be acknowledged, that he was far from being inclined to join the
inquisitors of that arbitrary court in all their illegal proceedings.
Hence it was, that his pardon was with less difficulty procured at
the revolution, by the friendly mediation of Dr. Tillotson, the
worthy dean of Canterbury. There are several portraits of him,

The Eigrl of Argyle was a man of probity and virtue, who saw,
wbp felty and deplored the miseries of his country ; the liberties of
which were openly invaded, or secretly undermined, by Lauderdale
aod the Duke of York. He was, during the rigorous administra-.
tion of the Earl of Middleton, condemned to die, only for a just
complaint of the injuries and injustice which had been done him, in,
s^ letter to Lord DuffuSi his friend.* This worthy patriot, because
be would not blindly concur with all the measures of the duke, and
was scrupulous of taking contradictory oaths, was, after a most
illegal trial, condemned, by as unjust a sentence, for treason, leasing-
making, and leasing-telling. He found means to escape from prison^
and rose in arms against his capital enemy, soon after his accession
to tfa^ throne. This insurrection was concerted with the Duke of
Honmou.th, who entered upon hostilities in England about the same
time. The earl was presently taken, and carried prisoner to Glas-r
gow, and afterward to Edinburgh, where he was beheaded in pur-
suance of his former sentence, 30th of June, 1685. After the re«
Tolqition, this sentence was> in the Claims of Rights, declared to be

68 BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY

John, first lord Belhaven. His Lordship resigning hia hondunf
into the hands of King Charles the Second, they were, the lOtb
of February, 1675, settled on him for life, to descend to John Ha^
milton, of Biel, husband of his grand-daughter, who accordingly
became second lord Belhaven, on the death of the first lord, in
1679.

His lordship soon distinguished himself by his opposition to
ministers in the parliament of 1681. When the act for the test was
brought in, Lord Belhaven said, that he saw a vety good act for
securing our religion from, one another among the sul^'ects themselvesj
but he did not see an act for securing our religion against a popish or
fanatical successor to the crown. For these words he was committed
prisoner to Edinburgh Castle, and the king's advocate declared,
that there was matter for an accusation of treason against him;
but some days afterward his lordship was, on his submission,
restored to his seat in parliament.

Ijord Belhaven attended the meeting of the Scottish nobility in
London, Jan. 1689, where he concurred in the address to the
Prince of Orange to assume the government, and to call a convention
of the estates. He was present at the convention, and contributed
much to the settling of the crown upon King William and Queen
Mary, who constituted him one of their privy council, and a com-
missioner for executing the office of lord-registrar.' He com-
manded a troop of hok'se at the battle of Killycrankie, July 27th,
1689, and was one of the farmers of the poll-tax, in 1693..

On the accession of Queen Anne, he was continued a privy-
counsellor; but when the Pretender, assisted by the French, at-
tempted to invade Scotland in 1708, he was taken up on suspicion

the kingdom insulted with the spectacle of its most distinguished

Richard Talbot, on King James the Second's accession to the
throney was created earl of Tyrconnel, and placed as lieutenant-
general at the head of the Irish army, where his conduct was so
agreeable to his sovereign, that he made him viceroy of Ireland.
To this popish delegate of a popish prince, Henry, earl of Claren-
don, the eldest son of the chancellor, and then lord-lieutenant
of Ireland* resigned the sword of state, Feb. 11, 1686-7, amidst
a gimeral and violent agitation of the kingdom. That nobleman
embarked at the port of Dublin, in order to return to England,
attoded by fifteen hundred Protestant families of that city; '^ who
abandoned a country where the peace, the property, and the lives
of Protestants^ were exposed to the malice of the meanest and most
malignant of a party, now exulting in the fulness of their triumph,
with their friend and patron in supreme authority, attended by
pcqpish ministers and officers of state."

After the Prince of Orange's invasion, he at first refused all the
ofiJEhrs that weire made by that prince to induce him to submit.
ytbea Ejng James landed in Ireland, in 1688, Tyrconnel appeared
at Cork to cotigratulate. his master, and* expressed his zeal by or-
deriilg' a magistbite to execution, who had declared for the Prince
Of O^ge.— Jfames ini»tantly created him a duke. From the time
(>f the battle of the Boyne, he lost the little estimation which he
had enjoyed, having become as irresolute hi*insamnd, as unwieldy
hi his person. He died at Limerick during the siege of that town,
Aug. 5th, 1691. Thevtilgar Irish imputed his death to poisouj,
adniinistered by those who detested his measures.

The Duke of Tyrconnel married Frances, daughter of Richard

The Duke of Somerset, who was one of the lords of the bed-

assist at the public reception of Count D'Ada, the pope's nuncio,
at Windsor.* We are told by Sir John Reresby, that the Duke
pf Somer3et, the. Earl of Burlington, the Earl of Scarsdale, and
some other lords, who had been active in the cause of the Priuce
of Orange, seemed in some measure to repent of their activity ; as,

had an original picture. Echard, in his " History of the Revolation,"t where be
meatious the precipitate conduct of James, which naturally produced that great
event, speaks thns of the reception of the nuncio : ** While these strange proceed-
ings were depending, the king thought fit to make a step of another kind, and
give an unusual spectacle to his subjects, which was a solemn reception of an apo-
stolical ntincio from Rome, a sight which had not been seen in England for a hondred
and fifty years before. This was Signior D'Ada, domestic prelate and assistant to
the pope, to complete whose character he was consecrated archbishop of Aiaasia,
in the royal chapel at Whitehall, by three select Romish bishops. And tboogii
it was high-treason in England for any to assume the character of the pope's nuodo,
that law was dispensed with at this time ; and he made bis public entry at Wiodsort
with the highest pomp and ceremony." The same author tells us, that '< the Duke
of Somerset, then lord of the bed-chamber in waiting, was expected to assist in the
ceremony ; but he told the king he could not serve him npoa this, occasion, beiog
assured it was contrary to law. The king asked him if he did not know he wis
above the law. The other replied, if the king was, he himself was not above the
law ; for which he was dismissed from all employments."!

His head is prefixed to the '^ Memoirs of Lot d Viscount Dundee,

His portrait is at Longleat.

John Graham, who was created viscount Dundee by King Jam«^,
was major-general of the Scottish atmy, and a privy-^counsellor in
the reign of Charles II. He v as then employed in reducing tbie
west of Scotland, atod in forcing the dissenters to 6om]^ly itltb this
constitution of the established church, by in^^oisiiig heary Ui^
upon them, which was one of the methods of making proselytes in
that kingdom. But he was a man of too noble a nature to exe-
cute his orders in their full rigour. At the time of the Prince of
Orange's inya'sion, he was commanded to ita^r<::h with his regiment
into England. He advised the king to three things. 6ne was, to
fight the prince ; another^ to go to him in person^ and demand his
business; and the third, to make his way into Scotland. James
had once resolved to pursue the last advice; but that, in the fluc-
tuating state of his mind, was soon followed by another resolution.
Upon the king's departure, Dundee applied himself to the Piince
of Orange, to whom he spoke with all that frankness which was
natural to him ; but met with a very cool reception. He afterward
sat in the Scottish convention, from which he suddenly absented
himself, declaring that he had discovered a plot against his own
life. He soon after retired into the Highlands, with about forty
horse, which he had formerly commanded, and presently assembled
a numerous army. He marched to Gillicranky,* where he engaged
a large body of forces commanded by General Mackay, but was
mortally wounded in the engagement. The Highlanders, animated
by their commander, gained a signal victory; Upon his asking how
things went, he was told that all was well : " then,** said he, " I
am well," and presentiy expired. He "was a man of an enterpris-
ing genius, and his conduct was equal to his courage. He had a
good deal of the spirit of his uncle, the famous James Graham,
marquis of Montrose. Ob. 27th July, 1689. See ar chal^cteristic

Dr. Lamplugb, who was a native of Thwing, in the East Riding
of Yorkshire, was some time a taberder of Queen's College, of
Oxford. In 1672, he was preferred to the deanery of Rochester;
and^ in 1676, advanced to the bishopric of Exeter. Upon the
landing-of the Prince of Orange in the West, he, in a public address
to the olergy and gentry of his diocess, exhorted them to adhere to
King James : but, upon the approach of the Prince of Orange, he fled
with precipitation from Exeter to London, and was presently after
from made archbishop of York. It was with great probability supposed,
that the see had been kept vacant for Father Petre,* die king's con-
fessor ; and especially as *^ a dispensation of the Jesuits order to
Father Peters to enjoy a bishopric" had, at his majesty's request,
been actually granted by thie pope.f This prelate, who set the
crown upon the Prince of Orange's head, died*May 5, 1691. Mr.
Wood telU us, that he iat several i/ears, with due commentlaticmSi

Henry Compton, &c. in the ^* O^tford Almanack/'
1742.

Henry Compton, youngest son of Spencer, earl of Northampton,
who was killed in Uie civil war, was educated at Queen's College,
in Oxford. Having stayed about three years at the university, he
made the usual tour of Europe. After the restoration, he became
a comet in the royal regiment of guards, commanded by Aubrey de
Vere, earl of Oxford : but a military life not suiting his disposition,
he entered into holy orders, and was, in a few years, advanced to the
bishopric of Oxford, and afterward to that of London. He strongly Translau
expected to be promoted to the see of Canterbury ; and was greatly f^j^^j
disappointied when it was given to Dr. Bancroft, but more, when i675.
Dr. Tillotson was preferred to it. His learning was superficial, but
Us great diligence in discharging the duties of hia function was
tnily exemplary. He is said to have been ^* an humble, modest,
generous, and good-natured man; but weak, wilful, much in the
power of others, and strangely wedded to a party/'* He was em^
phatically called The Protestant Bishop, for the noble stand he
niade in defence of the rights of the church in this reign, when,
spirit and resolution were much more necessary than learning. f He
patronised converts from popery, and was a generous friend to the.
French Protestants who fled hither from the persecution of Lewis
XIV. He appeared in arms at Nottingham, a little before the
revolution, and declared his readiness to fight for the Prince of
Orange. He was a true son and brave champion of the church,
and a most munificent benefactor to it. Whatever imperfections

t The follo«nng is a remarkable instance of his spirit. King James discoorsing
with him on some tender point, was so little pleased with his answers, that he told
him, " He talked more like a colonel than a bishop." To which he replied, "that
bis majestj did him hononr in taking notice of his having formerly drawn his
sword in defence of the constitution ; and that he should do the same again, if he
lived to see it necessary.*' Accordingly, when matters were coming to extremity,
he carried off the Princess Anne to Nuttiugham, and marched into that town at the
head of a fine troop of gentlemen and their attendants, who had formed a guard
for her highness.

great satisfaction upon hifr admission into this court, that his name
would be recorded in history ;t and so indeed it will to his dishonour,
eren as long as his munificence to the university of Oxford is com-
memorated. He was hospitable, generous, and charitable ; but his
charity was sometimes observed to be too ostentatious » He offered
to resign his bishopric to Dr. Burnet, and trust to his generosity
for the payment of 1000/. a year out of it : but he Mras of too scru-

did before. He sent the king an address of thaiiks for his dedara"

reading that declaration* His compliances were much the same after
the revolution. His moderation, to call it by the softest name, was
yery great; indeed so great as to bring the firmness of his character
in question. But casuistry, which was his most distinguished

been known to admit contradictions themselves. He was, ab-

Consec. William Lloyd, bishop of St. Asaph,]: was son of Richard Lloyd,
1680.* vicar of Sunning, and rector of Tiiehurst, in Berkshire. He was
master of as much, and as well digested knowledge, as any clergy-
man of his time. Whatever be knew, he generally knew better
than other men ; and was better able to display it to advantage.
He was never desultory in his studies, but always mastered one
branch of science before he applied himself to another. His memory
was prompt, his imagination was lively, and his judgment exact. He
seemed to be as great a proficient in philology, history, philosophy,
and divinity, as if each of these had been the sole object of bis appli*
cation. He was a principal reformer of the language and method
of sermons ; and was an admirable master of the historic style. It
is much to be regretted, that so excellent a pen should have been
chiefly employed in subjects of controversy, the most perishable

t Circamstances, in themselves trivial, become interesting when they^are a part
of the personal history of men of eminence. J shall therefore be excused when t
mention his smoking tobacco, in which he was almost as regular as in his meals. He
had a very high opinion of its virtues, as had also Dr. Barrow, Dr. AMrich, and
other celebrated persons who flourished about this time, and gave much into that
practice.

was successively bishop of Landaff, Peterborough, and Norwich ; and the other of

BttToet*8 ** History of the ReformatioD/' and had a great hand in
polisiuAg that excellent work. His ** Chronologia Universalis/' in
folio, which was the most laborious of all his performances, was
ptrtly printed, but never published.* It hath already been re-
marked, that his Index to Bishop Wilkins*s '^ Real Character'' is a
masterpiece in its kind. It should, also be observed, that his
various studies never broke in upon his parochial or episcopal
duties, in which he was remarkably conscientious and exemplary.
His prophecies^ which were but his dotages, have been the suhject
of much ridicule. There are several portraits of him, which be-
long to the reign of Anne. He was then bishop of Worcester.

Francis Turner, was son of Dr. Thomas Turner, dean of Can- Coiwec.

cipal secretary of state to Charles I. He received his education at Transiat
New College, in Oxford, was some time chaplain to the kii^, when Crooi Ro-
duke of York, and a resiJentiary of St. Paul's. In 1670, he was Aug!?68^
preferred to the mastership of St. John's College, in Cambridge;
ia which preferment he succeeded Dr. Peter Gunning, and was
himself succeeded by Dr. Humfrey Gower. He was afterward
preferred to the deanery of Windsor, which he held together with
the bishopric of Rochester. He was deprived for not taking the
new oaths, 1 Feb. 1689-90. The next year he was accused of
being a conspirator in a plot of nonjurors for restoring King James,
for which some of that party were imprisoned ; but he thought it
pnident to abscond. A proclamation was soon after issued for
apprehending him, Graham, and Penn, as traitors. — Dr. Turner,

offence to the prince. Bat Charles II. was not offended at his religious intrepidity,
in peremptorily refusing to admit Nell Gwynn into his lodgings, when the coarl
was at Winchester : on the contrary, he soon after made him a bishop. The
I^itig's good sense told him, though the Prifice of Orange's did not, that if a nan is
really a Christian, his conduct ought to be uniformly consistent with that character ;
and that principles of conscience are of too stubborn a nature to yield, even in
courts, to modes of complaisance.

he was yery subject, he frequently amused himself with writing

Terses. Hence some of his pious poems are entitled ** Anodynes,

C^sec. Thomas Sprat, bishop of Rochester, was a man of wit, and a

lish writers. It appears from his writings, as well as his conduct,
that his principles were far from being stubborn. He has. repre-
sented Cromwell as a finished hero,* and Charles I. as a glorified
saint, t He sat in the ecclesiastical c9mmission, and was by no
means ayerse from die reyolution. His ** Account of the Rye House
Plot*' is little better than a romance ; but his <' History^ of the
Royal Society," his Charge to his Clergy, his Sermons, and his
Account of Cowley, are excellent performances. His style in ge-
neral, which has been greatly applauded, has neither the classic
simplicity of Hobbes, nor the grace of Sir William Temple. His
poetry is unequal, and sometimes inharmonious. He has, however,
been justly ranked with the best writers in the reign of Charles the
Second. See the article of Sorbiere in the Appendix to that

Consee. Thomas Cartwright, who had been a forward and confident
preacher at the time of the Interregnum, and proceeded in exact
conformity with the powers then in being, struck in with the royal
party at the restoration, and wasmo less forward upon all occasions
to express his loyalty. He was made one of the king's chaplains;
was successively a prebendary of St. Paul's and of Durham, and
had a hard struggle with Dr. Womack, for the bishopric of St
David^s. In the reign of James, he enlisted himself on the side of
the prerogative,t and was made bishop of Chester for boldly
asserting in x>ne of his sermons, that the king's promises to his
parliament were not binding. It is probable, that on such slavish
terms he might have been made archbishop of Canterbury, if that
prince had continued on the throne. He sat in the ecclesiastical

JOHN TILLOTSON, dean of Canterbury,* who had distin-
Kttished himself by his polemical writings in the latcv reign, helped
to carry on the war against popery in the present. The greatest
dJTiaes that ever appeared in controversy were formed about this
period. Such were Tillotson, Stillingfleet, Patrick, Sherlock, and
Vake. These were more than sufficient for a whole army of
Jesuits; but the king thought that a well-appointed army of sol-
diers, and a vigorous exertion of his prerogative, was a surer and
a more expeditious method of opposing the enemies of his religion.
Re, in a letter addressed to the archbishop of Canterbury, enjoined
the clergy to preach a good life, and never to meddle with con-
trofersy in their sermons. At this time, popish books were pub-
licly sold, and much holy trumpery was imported from Italy.

. Gilbert Burnet, some time chaplain to Charles H. incurred the

the openness of his conduct in regard to popery. This resentmeint
was much increased by a sermon preached at the Rolls chapel,
5th Nov. 1684, on Psalm xxii. 21, ** Save me from the lion's
mouth ; thou bast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.'* The
text was thought to be a bold allusion to the supporters of the
royal arms, though the conceit, as he tells us, was never intended.
The sermon was also thought to be in as bold a strain ; and espe-
cially where he mentioned the famous wish of James I. against any
of his posterity that should endeavour to introduce the Roman
Catholic religion. Upon the accession of James II. he very pru-
dently left the kingdom, and travelled over Italy, Switzerland, and

Tlie Reverend SIR GEORGE WHELER, knt.
of Charing, in Kent. Engraved by William Bromlej/f
front a painting in the possession of Granville Hast-
ings Wheler, esq. In Surtees " History of Durham^'
folio.

Sir George Whaler was descended from an ancient family,
who had been possessed of property in the counties of Kent and
Middlesex ; his father. Col. Charles Wheler, of the guards, suf-
fered for his loyalty to King Charles I. and Sir George was bora
whilst his parents were, on that account, in exile at Breda, in Hol-
land. In 1667 he became a member of Lincoln College, in Oxford,
but before he had taken a degree, he went abroad with Dr. James
Spon, of Lyons, and, embarking at Venice, sailed to Constauti-
iiople, and travelled through Lesser Asia and Greece. On his
return he received the honour' of knighthood, and in 1683, the
degree of A. M. from the university of Oxford; he published an
account of his travels, and of several antiquities in Greece and
Asia Minor, in 1682, and presented several pieces of antiquity
which he had collected to the university; his valuable casket of
■Greek medals he afterward gave by will to the Dean and Chapter
Library of Durham. About 1683, Sir George entered into holy
orders, contrary to the wishes of several powerful friends, who
would wilKngly have supported his interest at court. In 1684^

tbat be ordeied the person who told him to keep a strict look-oot, j
promisiDg, 4f he could give him any sobstantial proofe, he should i
be well rewarded, and White severely piumbed. The spy followed •
bis business so close, that in a litlkf time be dogged Jerry White JE
(as he was generally called) to the lady's chamber, and ran im-
mediately to the Protector, to acquaint him that they were together. .
Oliver, in a rage, hastened to the chamber, and going hastily in,
found Jerry on* his knees, either kissing his daughter's hand, or
having just kissed it. CromweU, in a fury, asked what was the
meaning of that posture before his daughter Frances ? White,
with a great deal of presence of mind, said, ** May it please your "
highness, I have a long time courted that young gentlewoman *
there, my lady's woman, and cannot prevail; I was, therefore,
humbly praying ber ladyship to intercede for me." Oliver, turning
to the young woman, cried, ^' What's the meaning of this, hussy?
Why do you refuse the honour Mr. White would do you? He is
my friend, and I expect you would treat him as such." My lady*s
woman, who desired nothing better, with a very low courtesy, re-
plied, ** If Mr. White intends me that honour, I shall not be against
him." " Sayest thou so my lass,*' cried Cromwell, " call Good-
wyn, — this business shall be done presently, before I go out of the
room." — Mr. White had gone too far to recede from his proposal;
his brother parson came, and Jerry and my lady's woman were
n\arried in the presence of the Protector, who gave the bride
500/. to her portion, to the secret disappointment and indigna-
tion of the enraged dupe of his own making, but entire gra-
tification and satisfaction of the fair Abigail, the moment they were
made one flesh, who, by this unexpected good fortune, 6btained a
husband much above her most sanguine hope or expectation.

The restoration deprived White of all hope of preferment, if he
refused to take the oaths, and offered him but faint prospects if he
did; he, therefore, prudently chose to remain quiescent, for he was
too pleasant a man to take up his abode in a prison, for preaching
in a conventicle. — His wit and cheerfulness gained him many
friends, but he would have found himself more at home in the pa-
lace of Charles II. than in that of Oliver. He survived not only
the restoration and revolution, but the union, and died in 1*^07,
aged seventy -eight.

When the story of his marriage was mentioned before Mrs.
White (who survived her husband), she always simpered her assent
to* its truth. Jeremiah White printed the funeral sermon of Mr.

ry Scougal was the son of Patrick Scougal, bishop of Aber-
1664 to 1682, and has the merit of being the first Scottish
, it is believed, who wrote a book of practical piety. Ec-
tical disputes, so inconsistent with the meek spirit of Chris-
, had first prevailed between the Catholics and reformers,
Btween the Presbyterians and Independents. Sermons and
intaries on Scripture were sometimes interposed; but the
bject, the practice of the Christian virtues, was unaccount-
3glected; Durham's curious work, on Scandal, being rather
ission of ecclesiastic discipline and polity, and a defence of
ssbyterians against the independent Jacobins of the day,
1 ethical production.

lenry Scougal little is known. It is said that, being of an
IS complexion, he sometimes loved God, and sometimes
vomen ; and that having unfortunately become enamoured
irried lady at Aberdeen, he died in the struggles of virtue
ssion. But he had grown so corpulent in his retreat in the
of the cathedral church of St. Machin's, at Old Aberdeen,

lalen College, in Oxford, and accordingly took possession of his
itall by proxy.t He was much esteemed by men of different reli-
gions, and especially by those who were most intimately acquainted
with his character. It is certain, that he died at Hammersmith, in
the reign of George the Second, aged about ninety. The dates of his
age assigned by Dod and others, at the time of his death, differ
considerably from the era on his print, which is very probably right.

greatly to precipitate the king's ruin, especially after he was sworn
of the privy council. This step was absolutely against the consent
of the queen and the most judicious of the Catholics. James, iira

that excellent person, was a man of general learning, and of an in-
tegrity that nothing could corrupt. His reputation in the Court of
Exchequer, the business of which he perfectly understood, was
superior to that of any other counsel. He was attorney-general
from the year 1681, to 1687; during which period, he approved
Umself in some very delicate points, and upon many important
Occasions, a most judicious and expert lawyer, and a no less useful
>Qan. He was continued in his office by James, but was soon set
^ide by that prince, who presently perceived that he could not be
prevailed with to mould the laws to such purposes as were never
intended by the legislature. He has been justly censured for hia
harsh treatment of Lord Russel on his trial. Pemberton, on the
(^ntrary, treated him with a gentleness and candour that did him
much honour. He died at Highcleer, in Hampshire, 1692. His

integrity in the discharge of his office. But he was much better

his time to experiments. He was much admired for his general
knowledge, and his ease and openness in the communication of it.
Tbere was nothing at all promising in his appearance: he was

Andrew Fletcher, of Saltonn, in East Lothian, was bom in the
year 1650 ; and in his early youth, having the misfortune to lose Us
father, was placed under the care of Dr. Gilbert Bumet, then rector
of the parish of Saltoun, afterward bishop of Salisbury, from whom
he received a most liberal and excellent education ; aiter which he
was sent to travel on the continent. He was, from his in&ncy, of
a fiery and uncontrollable temper ; but his disposition was noble and
generous. He became first known as a public speaker, and a man
of political energy, from being one of the commissioners in the
Scotch Parliament, when the Duke of York was lord high-commis-
sioner ; connecting himself with the Earl of Argyle in opposition
to the Duke of Lauderdale's administration, and the arbitrary de-
signs of the court ; which obliged him to retire^ first into England,
and afterward into Holland; on which he was summoned to appear
before the lords of the council at Edinburgh ; which not thinking
it prudent to do, he was outlawed, and his estate confiscated.

He afterward joined the Duke of Monmouth in his ill-judged
expedition ; but haying the misfortune to kill a man, whose horse
be had taken for his own use, was compelled to quit the army, in
order to stop complaintsf of the duke's English followers against
him : this circumstance, however, was the means of preserving his
life ; as^ had he continued in England but a few days longer, he
must inevitably have shared the fate of the unfortunate duke, and
that of many of his deluded followers.

Afber passing through a variety of adventures, Fletcher returned
to England with the Prince of Orange, afterward William IH. and
filled a number of important situations in Scotland under the reign
of that monarch, and his successor Queen Anne. Ob. in the
year 1716.

John Benbow, who was bom at Shrewsbury, became, at the age

tacked by a Salee rover, he defended himself bravely, though very
inferior in number ; at last the Moors having boarded him, were
beat out of the vessel with the loss of thirteen men.^ Oq his re-
turn, James II. gave him the command of a ship in the royal navy.
After the revolution, he rose to the first rank in his profession by
pore merit, and had the command of the West India squadron,
when he fell in with the French fleet commanded by M. de Casse.
Several of his officers had taken some disgust, and permitted him
almost alone to sustain the whole fire of the enemy. For four
da^s did this intrepid seaman, assisted only by one ship, pursue
and engage the fleet, while his cowardly officers behind remained
spectators of his activity and bravery. In the engagement his leg
was shatCered by a cannon ball, and he soon after died of his
pounds. Two of his officers, Kirby and Wade, were tried by a
court-martial, and shot.

lad failed in the main vote, to lay the money on fdnds unaccept-

if it was passed over, more of the same kind would follow; and it
would grow a fashion to talk so. It was therefore fit to take such
severe notice of this, that nobody should dare to talk at that rate
for the future.' The Duke of York told Bishop Burnet, ' He said
all he could to the king to divert him from the resolution he took;
which was to send some of the guards, and watch in the streets
where Sir John lodged, and leave a mark upon him.' The fact,
by bills of indictment, was found to be committed by Sir Thomas
Sandys, knight, Charles 0*Bryan, esq. Sir Simon Parry, and Miles
Reeves, who were fled from justice, not daring to abide a legal
trial. — As Coventry was going home, they drew about him ; he
stood up to the wall, and snatched the flambeau out of his ser-
vant's hands ; and with that in one hand, and his sword in the
Other, he defended himself so well that he got credit by it. He
wounded some of them, but 'was soon disarmed, and then they cut
his nose to the bone, to teach him (as they said) to remember what
respect he owed to the king ; and so they left him, and went back
to the Duke of Monmouth's, where O'Bryan's wound was dressed.
The matter was executed by orders from the Duke of Monmouth;
lor which he was severely censured, because he lived then in pro-
fessions of friendship with Coventry ; so that his subjection to the
king was not thought an excuse for directing so vile, an attempt oa
his friend, without sending him secret notice of what was designed*
Coventry had his nose so well needled up, that the scar was scared
to be discerned. This put the House of Commons in a fil»rioos
uproar: they passed a bill of banishment against the actors of it;
and put a clause in it, that it should not be in the king% power to
pardon them ; and that it should be death to maim any persoo*
This gave great advantages to all those that opposed the court;
and was often remembered, and much improved by all the angiy
men of those times." The act thus obtained is still called '' Tbt
Coventry Act." j

Sir John Coventry died unmarried, and endowed an hospital st j
Wiveliscomb, in the county of Somerset, for twelve poor people.

HENRY COVENTRY;/ro»i the collection at Long-
leat, in Adolpkm's *• British Cabinet." Harding sc. Ato,

OF ENGLAND. 125

Hie Honourable Henry Coventry was third son of Thomas, first
earl of Coventry, by his second wife Elizabeth, daughter to John
Aldersey, of Spurstow,.in the county of Chester, esq. and widow
of William Pitchford, esq. He was educated at All Souls College,
Oxford, where he received the degrees of bachelor of laws and
master of arts. On account of his loyalty he was a great sufferer
in the rebellion, and soon after the restoration of Charles Ih was
made a ^oom of the bed-chamber.

The king entertained the highest sense of Coventry's integrity*
who possessed his entire friendship ; he therefore sent him envoy
extraordinary to Sweden, on the 4th of September, 1664. He met
with a very honourable reception ; the Swedes testified a sincere
a&ction for the king, and the utmost willingness to unite in any
thing which would not be destructive to themselves. Coventry re-
mained in Sweden two years, and returned the 2l8t of June, 1666.

In the year following it was judged expedient to send ambas-
sadors to Breda, for the purp<^e of treating for peace. Mr. Co-
ventry had given so much satisfaction in his former embassy, that
the chancellor proposed him as one of the properest persons to
iGt in the treaty, and he was appointed with Denzil, lord Hollis,
aoibassador extraordinary. They were fitted out in a style worthy
of the station they were to fill, and of the master for whom they
acted. At Breda they concluded a peace with France, Denmark^
and the States General.

In the year 167 1 , Mr. Coventry went again ambassador to Sweden,
find returning the following year, was constituted secretary of
state, and privy-counsellor. This office he filled with the strictest
Melity and honour upwards of six years ; but his health no longer
Hrmitting him to undergo the fatigue, he requested leave to
retire.

His resignation was announced by the following public notice
m the Gazette: "Whitehall, February 11, 1679. -His majesty
was this afternoon pleased to declare in council, that Mr. Secre-
tary Coventry has long solicited him, on account of his infirmity of
hody, for his leave to resign his place as one of his principal secre*
taries of state ; that his majesty has at last been prevailed upon to
grant it, though with some unwillingness, because of the great
satisfaction his majesty has always had in his services ; and that
^ intention was he should ever continue in his privy council."

"After this time he never accepted of any public employment, but
fived in a very retired manner till his death, which happened at his

SIR WILLIAM COVENTRY ; from the collection
atJjongleat^ in Adolphus's *^ British Cabinet.^ E. Hard-
ing sc. 4to.

William Coventry was the younger brother of Henry Coyentry.
At the age of sixteen he was a gentleman commoner of Queens
College, Oxford. He went to the university in 1642, and, after
continuing some time, commenced his travels.

On his return he was appointed secretary to the Duke of York,
and also to the Admiralty, and elected member of parliament for
Yarmouth in 1661 : he was also returned for the same town to the
parliament summoned in 1678. In 1663, he was created a doctoi*
of laws at the university of Oxford. He was sworn of the privy
council, and had the honour of knighthood conferred on him,
June 26, 166^. In 1667, he was made one of the commissioners
of the Treasury.

Bishop Burnet observes, that he was ** a man of great notions
and eminent virtues; the best speaker in the House of Commons,
and capable of bearing the chief ministry, as it was once thought
he was very near it, and deserved it more than all the rest did.''
He engaged in a personal dispute with the Duke of Buckingham,
which, terminating in a challenge, he was forbid the court, and he
retired to Minster Lovel, in Oxfordshire. There he lived pri?atelyi
devoting himself to religion ; and though considerable offices were
afterward tendered to him, he constantly declined accepting them.
He died unmarried, at Somerhill, near Tunbridge Wells, where he
went for the benefit of the waters, the 23d of June, 1686, aged 60
years, and was buried at Penshurst, in Kent, where a monument is
erected to his memory.

By his will he left 2000/. for the relief of the French Protestants,"
who had lately quitted their country from religious motives, and
3000/. for the redemption of captives from Algiers.'

OP ENGLAND. 127

Mr. Charles Ccesar was born at Tottenham^ inliliddlesex, Feb. 7,
16d5-6y and was an infant under six years of age at the time of
the death of his father, the unfortunate circumstances attending
which, not allowing time for deliberate arrangements, left him to
tiie guardianship of the law, and the affection of a most kind mo-
ther. He was entered on the 3d of September, 1651, a fellow
commoner of Jesus College in the university of Cambridge, and
remained there upwards of five years. When he came of age he
took possession of his estate of Great Gransden, in Huntingdon-
shire, which had been g^ven to him by his father's hasty will ; but,
preferring a residence in his native county, disposed of the savings
ofhismraority, March 17, 1659-60, in the purchase of lands at
Msch Hadham, in Herts, on which, not long before, had been

erected a fair seat by Tompson, esq. For this property Mr.

Ccesar paid 1700/. He kept it not long, for, his mother dying in
the house within two years after, he conceived a distaste to it, and
sold it to William Allen, esq. a neighbouring gentleman; and
retired to Great Gransden, wisely preferring the calm respect-
ability of the life of an honourable country gentleman to the
tmc^lrtainty of public splendour, and the inevitable solicitudes
which attend it. He remained there for thirty years, improving his
estate by neighbouring purchases, and in 1692 relinquished his
priocipal seat, with its demesne, to his eldest son, and removed to
the town of Stamford, in Lincolnshire, where he died in August^
1707, leaving three children, Charles, Henry, and Dorothy.

SIR EDWARD SEYMOUR; from his monument

^^ British Cabinet.''

Sir Edward Seymour, the Ghh of that name in lineal succession,
was bom in 1633. In the reigns of Charles H. James H. William
and Mary, he was very conspicuous in all political transactions,
sod particularly in the House of Commons. He constantly served
in parliament for the city of Exeter, except once for Hindon, and
once for Totness.

In 1667, he distinguished himself in the impeachment of the Lord-
chancellor Hyde, earl of Clarendon. In the House of Commons
lie made a long and severe speech against him, recapitulating all
the supposed crimes and errors of his administration, and urged the
propriety of arraigning him for high-treason; and he attended, in a

128 BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY

few days after, at the bar of the House of Lords-with the aecusatiox
t)f the lower house, and there requested the lord-chancellor mighl
be sequestered from that house, and his person Secured,

On the resignation of Sir Job Charlton, Feb. 15th, 1672-5, U
was unanimously chosen speaker of the House of Commons, anc
aa the 9th of April following, made treasurer of the navy. On th<
6th of March, 1678, he was again chosen speaker, but the king
having occasion for his services, in a manner which he considered
incompatible with that appointment, refused to confirm the election.
The commons made three representations in Seymour's favour, bat
at length having been prorogued, and fearing dissolution, tbey
elected Serjeant Gregory.

Seymour gave so much offence to the house by his attachment to
the constitution, and his opposition to their extravagant views, that
on the 20 th of Nov. 1680, they voted his impeachment, and a
motion was made for addressing the king to dismiss him from his
presence and councils for ever; but the motion vysis abandoned,
and no articles of inipeachment exhibited. He opposed tlie bill of
exclusion, and was a great promoter of the Habeas Corpus Act.
. After the accession of James II. Seymour was a strenuous opposer
of the Puke of Monmouth and his rebellious adherents in 1685.
Afterward, considering the church of England in danger from the
united efforts of the Catholics and Presbyterians, he joined in invit-
ing the Prince of Orange, though he expected that he would only
interpose as a generous mediator, and not attempt to seize the
throne or change the succession. When William landed in 1688,
such was the terror of the people, and their tardiness in joining
him, that he would probably have been compelled to return, but
Seymour waited on him at Exeter, and proposed forming an asso-
ciation to adhere to him till the religion, laws, and liberties of
the kingdom, were secured by a free parliament. This candid
declaration soon procured the Prince of Orange a great number of
adherents.

Seymour disliking the subsequent proceedings, particularly the
dethroning of King James, and disinheriting his son, opposed
those measures and resisted the bill for forming the convention into
a parliament. His efforts being over- ruled, he submitted and took
the oaths of government. He continued his parliamentary exer-
tions till the period of his death, which happened Feb. 17, 1707-8,
at Maiden Bradley, where he was interred, and a beautiful monu-
ment erected to his memory.

innocence. The prosecution was carried on with such precipita-
tion, that he was tried, condemned, and executed within a week.
He behaved to his death with a decent fortitude, and persisted in
denying the crime of which he stood convicted. The perjury of
Goodenough and Rumsey, the witnesses against him, appeared so
flagrant after his death, that, in 1688, they were committed to pri-
son by order of parliament,* and his estate was restored to his
relations*!

Benjamin Hewling, son of an eminent Turkey merchant in
London, was a man of a good education, graceful person, untainted
morals, and unaffected piety ; and therefore of great popularity
among his political brethren, the staunch Whigs in the city. He
had the command of a troop of horse in the Duke of Monmouth's
army, and behaved in several skirmishes with more courage and
conduct than is usually seen in raw soldiers. He was sent with a
detachment of his own troop, and two more, to fetch cannon from
Minehead, in Somersetshire, a little before the battle of Sedgemore.
As the best of Monmouth*s men were in this detachment, the loss
of the battle was supposed to be owing to their absence. He was
executed for rebellion at Taunton, the 30th of Sept. 1685^ in the
twenty-second year of his age. He declared, a little before his
execution, that he was not ashamed of the cause in which he was
to suffer, and died with all the alacrity of a martyr. His brother
William, a man of a similar character^ was executed about the same
time.

Samuel Pepys, secretary to the admiralty in this and the former
reign, was descended from the ancient family of that name, seated
at Impington, near Cottenham, in Cambridgeshire. He was, in the
early part of his life, introduced into the service of the state by
his kinsman the famous Earl of Sandwich. It is well known that
the naval history of Charles II. is the most shining part of the
annals of his reign ; and that the business of the pavy was con-
ducted with the utmost regularity and prudence; under Charles
and James, by this worthy and judicious person. He first reduced
the affairs of the admiralty to order and method; and that method
was so just, as to haVe been a standing model to his successors in
hisL important office. His ^ Memoirs," relating to the navy, is a well
written piece ; and his copious collection of manuscripts, now re-
maining, with the rest of his library, at Magdalen College, iu Cam-
bridge, is an invaluable treasure of naval knowledge. He was far
from being a mere man of business ; his conversation and address
had been greatly refined by travel. He thoroughly understood and
practised music; was a judge of painting, sculpture, and architec-
ture ; and had more than a superficial knowledge in history and
philosophy. His fame among the virtuosi was such j that he was
thought a very proper person to be placed at the head of the Royal
Society, of which he was some time president, f His prints have
been already mentioned. His collection of English ballads, in five
large folio volumes, begun by Mr. Selden, and carried down to the

obtain her consent to elope with him ; but the father having some
hints given him of their private courtship, kept a tery watchful
eye over their actions, and at last being confirmed in his suspi-
cions, forbade Sir John his house, and kept bis daughter close. She
being very uneasy under her confinement, and being deprived of
the sigbt of Sir John, whom she loved to distractioiiy made a kins-
woman her confidant, and intrusted her with a letter to Sir John,
to let him know how uneasy her life was ; and that if he would
come to such a place, at such a time, s1ie would endeavour to
make her escape, and meet him; but the lady, thinking she should
gain most by obliging her uncle, delivered the letter to him,in^ad
of Sir John : Mr. Magrath having read it, sealed it up again, and
sient it to Sir John, who received it with a great deal of satisfac-

Dr. Francis Bernard, who was physician to King James, was a
man of learning, and well versed in literary history. He had the
best private collection of scarce and curious books that had been
seen in England, and was a good judge of their value. He died
on the 9th of February, 1697, in the 70th year of his age. The
catalogue of his books, which were sold by auction, is dated 1698.
The amount of this auction, clear of all expenses of sale,* was up-
wards of 1600/. a large sum at that time, when the passion for
rare books was much more moderate than it is at present. If all
Dr. Mead's books were now to be resold, they would fetch an in-
comps^rably greater sum than they did soon after bis death. Mr.
Charles Bernard, brother to Francis, and surgeon to the Princess
Anne, daughter of King James, had also a curious library, which
was sold by aiu^tion, in 1711. The '' Spaccio della Bestia triom-

Numb. 389 of the " Spectator," to have sold for 30/. was in this

This print represents SAMUEL WESLEY, who was, in early
life, possessed with the spirit of poetry, as he, in 1685, published in
8vo. a collection of his juvenile compositions, entitled ** Maggots,
or Poems on several Subjects never before handled." He after-
ward entered into holy orders, and was rector of South Ormesby,
in Lincolnshire, when he published '< The Life of our Blessed
Saviour Jesus Christ,** an heroic poem, 1693, fol. with various cuts,
said to have been engraved by Faithome. He, in 1695, published
Elegies on the death of Queen Mary and Archbishop Tillotson.*
It is to be regretted that his vein of poetry was not exhausted
when he published his " Maggots," as he incurred the censure of
Garth in his *^ Dispensary," who severely lashes him in these lines:

'* Had Wesley never aim'd in verse to please.
We had not rank'd him with our Ogilbys.
Still censures will on dull pretenders fall :
A Codrus should expect a Juvenal."

He, however, made ample amends for his bad poetry, by his good
life, and his Dissertations upon the Book of Job in Latin, which
were published after his decease. He was father of John Wesley^
Ivell known to the world by his preaching and writings.

Ist of December the same year, he was, in pursuance of King
Charles's mandate, elected master of his college, upon the resigna-
tion of Dr. Bachcroft. About the year 1670, he was appointed
keeper of the records in the Tower of London ; in which office, how-
well he employed himself in perusing those valuable documents in
his possession, is obvious . from his historical works. Some time
after he was chosen regius professor of physic in the university of
Cambridge. In 1679, he wrote a letter to Dr. Sydenham, which is
published among that learned person's works. But his largest and
most considerable performance was, *' An Introduction to the old
English History," and " A Complete History of England, from the
first entrance of the Romans, unto the end of the reign of King
Richard II.'' in three vols, folio ; about which he was employed
several years. It is asserted by Dr. Gilbert Stuart, that this work
formed the basis of Hume's " History."^ Dr. Brady also wrote a
treatise on Burghs, in thin folro. In the year 1681, he was chosen
one of the representatives for the university of Cambndge, m tiat
parliament which met at Oxford ; and again, in 1685, in the parlia-
ment of King James II. He was likewise physician in ordinary to
that king ; and| on the 22d of October,. 1688, was one of those who
gave in their depositions concerning the birth of the pretended
prince of Wales.

He died on the 19th of August, 1700. He was an accnrate

PHILOSOPHERS.

ISAAC NEWTON, whom that innate modesty which usually
attends on true genius had restrained from displaying his mighty
talents, broke forth from his obscurity in the reign of James 11.
Then it was that he published his '' Principia/' a work that occa-
sioned the greatest revolution that ever was made in the world of
sdence. This performance is an illustrious proof of the power of
the human mind; it being the highest instance that can, or probably
ever will be given of the exertion of it. His portrait belongs to the
reign of Anne.

There is a print of him engraved by Bickham, which may be
placed as a memorial in this reign : it is a head radiated like the sun,
in the midst of a planetary system* The following lines of Lucre-
tius may without pedantry be affixed to it; they are much better
suited to this character than to that of Epicurus.

" Qui genas humanam ingenio superavit, et omnes
Pentrinxit Stellas, exortus ut letberius sol."

JOHN LOCKE, who was in metaphysics what Newton was in
the higher mathematics, finished his ** Essay on the Human Un-
derstanding" in the reign of James IL Newton led mankind to the
knowledge of the material world with which they were surrounded ;
Locke to the J^nowledge of the ideal world within themselves.* His
portrait belongs to the reign of William IH.

appears from a series of dates taken by Mr. Walpole from windows
now in being, that it has been also practised in every age since that
period. Peter Oliver painted on glass in the reign of Charles IL

English nobility. He was once inclined to leave his country , which, as he say s» had
" spit in his face for forty years together."

t John Langton was an ingenious writing-master at Stamford, in Lincolnshire.
In 1713, he presented a most curious piece of writing, in the ancient and modern
hands, to Queen Anne. There is a fine copy of this at Burgbley-house. It is said

enamelling at Biraiingliam ; and am assured that the two arts are so much the same,
that tbe formcv could never have heen lost.

t This art has been brought to great perfection by Mr. James Pearson and his
wife. ^ Among other capital works, she executed the celebrated cartoons of Raphael,
on seven large squares of glass, the colours entirely vitrified in the fire. They were
sold to tiie Marquis of Lansdown for 600/. She has since painted another set much
saperior in style, which were sold to Sir Gregory Page Turner for lOOOf. Mr.
Pearson has executed some superior to any other artist : a window at Salisbury
cathedral ; the brazen serpent, after Mortimer ; the Nota, after Corregio ; the smiths,
sijter Wriglit, of Derby ; a view of the piazza, Covent*garden ; a pier of ruins; and
a pair of flowers, are in the best style of the art. Mr. Beckford, of Fonthill, has

llioinas Betterton was bom in TothiH-street, Wdstminster, in
1635, ahdy after having left school, is said to hkve been put a|H
prentice to a bookseller. The particulars of his early life, however,
are not ascertained, but it is generally thought that he made his
frst appearance! dn the stage in 1656, at ttie opera-tiouse in Char-
ter-house-yard, under the direction of Sir William Davenant, and
continued to perform here till the restoration. When King Charles
granted patents to tWo companies, the one called the kihg^s coin<h
pany, and the other the duke's. The former acted at tiie theatre
royal, in Drury-Iaiie; arid the latter at the theatre in Lincoln*s-Inn-
fields. Betterton went over to Paris, kt the cbmmahd of King
Charles II. to take a view of the French scenei'y, and ai his return
made such improvements s(S added greatly tb the lustre of the
English stage.

For several years both companies acted with the greatest
applause, and ihe taste for dramatic entertainments was never
stronger than whilst these tWo coiiipanied played. The two com-
panies virere, however, at length united, though the time of this union-
is not precisely knoWn; Oildon placing it in 1682, and Cibber fn
1684, and then it was that Betterton first shone forth with the
greatest degree of lustre ; for having survived the famous actors
iipon whose model he had fdrmed himself, he was now at
liberty to display his genius in its^ full extent. — His merit as an
actor cannot now be very accurately displayed ; but Cibber informs
us, ^' fietterton was an actor, as Shakspeare was an author, both
without cOnipetitors, formed for the mutual assistance and illustra^
tion of each other's genius I How Shakspeare wrote, all men who
have a taste for nature may read and kiiow ; but with what higher
rapture would he i^till b^' read, could they conceive how Betterton
played him ! Then might they know the one was born alone to

What he spoke, then might you see the muse of Shakspeare in her
triumph, with all her beauties in her best array, rising into real
life, and charming her beholders. But alas! since all this is so far
out of the reach of description, how shall I shew you Betterton?
Should I therefore tell you that all the Otheilos, Hamlets, Hotspurs,
Macbeths, and Brutuses, you have seen since his time, have fallen
short of him, this still would give you no idea of his particular ex*
cellence/'

This admirable performer contidoed to play after he had reached
the age of seventy, when the public remembering the pleasure he
had given them, would not allow so deserving a man, after fi%
years' service, to withdraw without some marks of their bounty;
and in the spring of 1709, a benefit, which was then a very un-
common favour, was granted to him, and the play of Love for
Love was acted for this purpose. He himself performed Valentine;
Mrs. Bracegirdle, and Mrs. Barry, though they had quitted the
stage, appeared on this occasion ; the former in the character of
Angelica, and Mrs. Barry in that of Mrs. Frail. After the plagr
was over, these two actresses appeared leading on Betterton ; and
Mrs. Barry spoke an epilogue, written by Mr. Rowe.

Mr. Betterton died April 28, 1710, and was interred in West-
minster Abbey. Sir Richard Steele attended the funeral, and two
days after published a paper in the '^Tatler^ to his memory.

used, to begin at four o clock. Kynaston continued to perform* ii|
femdeattue, long after he had reached manhood; and the occasion
of his giving np that cast of characters was in consequence of the
Idng^s €00111^ a little before his usual time to a tragedy, who founds
the acton not ready to begin ; when his majesty, not choosing to;
hate as mndi patience as his good subjects, sent to learn the cause
of the delay;, upon which the master of the company went to the
loyal box, and rightly judging that the best excuse for the defauU
vould be the true one, fairly told his msyesty that the queen was
Qotytet riiaTed, Charles, whose good humour loved to. laugh at a
jest, as well as to make one, accepted the excuse, which served to
divert him, till the msde queen could be efieminated.

After resigningthe petticoats, Kynaston assumed the male pasts
i& Uie first line of tragedy* His handsomeness was very little abated,
even at th& age of sixty ; his> teeth were all sound, white, and eveni
as a rtigninjg tooH of twenty* He had something of a. formal gm*
vity ia hia mien, which was attributed to the stately step he had
been ao early confined to, in female characters. But even that, inr
diaracters (^ superiority, had its proper graces; it misbecame hua»
not in the part of Leon, in Fletcher's Rule a Wife, and heme a Wifil
which her executed with a determined manliness, and honest autho«<^
lity, well worth the best actor's imitation. He had a piercing eye,;
and in diaracters of heroic life, a quick impeiious vivacity, in hia
tone of voice, that punted the tyrant truly terrible. There wer»
two plays of Dryden in which he shone with uncommon lustse %
\tk Afgrengt'-Zebe h^ plftyed Morat; and in Don Sehastianf Mnley
Molodi; ftk both these parts, he had a fierce, lion-like majesty ia

He continued on the stage until the latter end of the reign of

152 BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY

Cave Underbill, a low comedian, contemporary with Betterton/
played the principal Orave-dig:ger to that excellent performer's
Hamlet. GoUey Gibber, who knew him personally, commends him*
highly for his acting in several characters of a very different cast,
and requiring a versatility of talent to fill them widi propriety and
with effect. He continued on the stage a long time ; Icmger indeed
than he should have done, as his powers were- considerably di-'
minished during the last years of his performance, there: this,
appears evident from the following severe critique on his ieicdng,'
given by Tony Aston in his brief Supplement to Gibber's Life;'
where, noticing Gave Underbill, he says, ^'Though not the best',
actor in precedency, was more admired by the actors than the
audience ; there being no rivals in his dry, heavy, downright vray. in
low comedy. His few parts were, the first Grave-digger in Hamletf.
Sancho Pancha, in the first part of Don Quxxote^ Ned Blunt in
the Rwer^ Jacomo in Htk^IAbertintj and the Host in the Villain:
all whicl| were dry, heavy characters, except Jacomo, in whidi
when he aimed at any archness, he fell into downright insignifiri
cance. He was about fifty years of age, the latter end oi King-
William's reign; about six feet high; long^ and broad-faced, iind
Hither corpulent, his face very like the Homp Sj/lvpiirU, ot Ciam^
panxa: for his nose ¥ras fiattish and short, and his iipper.lip very^
long and thick, with a wide mouth and short chin, a churli#b voice»;
and awkward action (leaping often up with both bis legs at a time».
wlien he conceived any thing waggish, and afterward hugging;
liimsdf at the waggish thought). He could not enter into any.
serious character, much less into tragedy; could scarce be broag^
to qpeak a Latin sentence in Dan Qmxoie, and was the moat 004*
fined actor I ever saw."

156 BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY

From the ^vi^ecice that wi« given On Lord Grey's trial tot ^
dueing the Lady Henrietta Berkeley, it appeared that he had ea*
couraged a passidn for her when she was a girl, and hi^sely taking
advantage of the opportunities which his alliance with her familj
Bffbrded, had succeeded in seducing her when she was but little
moire than seventeen. After she had acknowledged an affection for
him, the intrigue was continued about a twelvemonth without dis-
covery, but with great risk; and on one occasion, as he himself
•confessed, he '* was two days locked up in . her closet, n^ithout
food or drink, but only a little sweetmeats.'' At length, the sus-
picions of the Countess of Berkeley being excited by some trivial
accident, she commanded her third daughter, the Lady Arabella,
to search her sister's room, on which the latter delivered up a letter
she had just been writing to Lord Grey^ to this effect : — " My sister
Bell did not suspect our beitig together last night; for she did not
hear the noise. Pray come again Sunday or Monday ; if the last,
I shall be very impatient." This disclosure took place at Berkeley-
house, in London ; and every precaution was taken to prevent any
correspondence or clandestine meeting between the parties ; not-
withstanding which. Lady Henrietta contrived to elope firom Bnr-
dants (a seat of the Berkeleys, near Epsom), and to join Lord
Grey in London, with whom she resided for a short time in a
lodging-house, at Charing-cross.

The Earl of Berkeley indicted him, and several other persons,
for conspiring to ruin his daughter, by seducing her from her fa-
ther's hoiise, and soliciting her to commit whoredom and adultery
with the said Lord Grey. The trial came on in November, 1682,
at Westminster Hall ; and after a most affecting scene, the Lady
Henrietta being herself present, and making oath that she had left
bome of her own accord, the jury were preparing to withdraw to
consider of their verdict, when a new turn was given to the pro-
ceedings, by the lady's declaring, in opposition to her fxither's claim
of her person, '^ that she would not go with him ; that she wal
married, and under no restraint, and (hat her husband was then vtL
court."

Sir Francis Pemberton, the lord chief-justice, then desired t<l
see her husband : on this a Mr. Turner came forward, and statiiig
himself to be *' a gentleman, sometimes resident^in town and pftea
in Somersetshire," claimed her as his wife, and afSrmed that he
had two witnesses present to testify the marriage. Under thes^
circumstances Lord Grey was admitted to bail ; but Lord Berkekj

again claiming his daughter, and attempting to seize her by force
in the hall, a great scuffle ensued, and swords were drawn on both
sides. At this critical moment the court broke up, and the judge
passing by, ordered his tip-stafiPto take Lady Henrietta into custody,
and convey her to the King's Bench; whither Mr. Turner accom^
panied her. On the la^t day of term, she was released by order
of the court ; and the business being in some way arranged among
the parties, during. the vacation, the law-suit was not persevered in.
Lady Henrietta, herself, is stated to have died, unmarried, in the
year 1710; consequently, the claim of Turner must have been a
mere coUasion to save Lord Grey.

Lady Harriot Wentworth, a woman of an elegant person and
engaging manners, was well known to the world as the mistress of
the Duke of Monmouth. This criminal attachment was, for a con-
siderable time, supposed to have been maintained with constancy,
at least on her side. The duke acknowledged, just before, his ex*
ecution, to two prelates and other divines who attended him, that
** he had an affection for Lady Harriot, and prayed that if it were
pleasing to God, it might continue ; otherwise, that it might cease;
and God heard his prayer." When he addressed himself to the
people from the scaffold, he spoke ** in vindication of the Lady
Harriot, saying, she y^as a woman of great honour and virtue, a
religious godly lady." He was told by some of the divines '^ of his
living in adultery with her." He said, " that for these two years
past he had not lived in any sin that he knew of, and that he was
sure, when he died, to go to God, and therefore he did not fear
death, which they might see in his face."t

* I do not believe this was the Ladj Harriot Wentworth, who was mistress to the
Duke of Monmouth, who was alwajrs called Lady Harriot and not Ladj Went-
worth. I remember an old Lady Wentworth so called , wlio probably was niece to
Lady Harriot, and who I suppose to be represented by this print. — Lord Obpord*

desenredly celebrated for his parliamentary talents. I have heard
it remarked by a person who was well acquainted with the history
of the family, that he never knew a poor man, or a plebeian, of the
name of Windham.

It has been conjectured, that the lady represented by the print
may be a daughter, or of the family of Mrs. Anne Windham, who,
in the latter end of the reign of Charles II. published an account
of that prince's concealment, at the house of Colonel Wyndham,
her husband, at Trent, in Somersetshire, soon after the battle of
Worcester. The relation was written by the colonel, and is sub-
joined to " Boscobel, or the compleat History of his Sacred Majes-
tie's most miraculous Presenration," &c. the third edition, 1680.
I mentioa these circumstances as some of them may, perhaps, lead
to a discovery of the person.

^1*, notwithstanding the ridicule of the court. A party of pleasfore
Wing been formed into Yorkshire by the duke and dutchess, Miss
Churchill, as maid of honour, attended; tlie duke persevered in his
suit; but his {Passion was thought to be on the decline, when it was
revived and strengthened by the following incident.

The royal party went out a coursing ; the dutchess was in a car-
nage, and all the ladies on horseback. The maids of honour, in
general, were indifferently mounted ; but Miss Churchill, in com-
pliment to the duke, was provided with a spirited horse, a prefer-
ence which afforded her no satisfaction, as she was a very bad
horse-woman. The duke, who rode by her side, expressed discon-
tent at her awkwardness, and terror had so increased her natural
paleness, that hi^ disgust was complete. ' He spurred his horse for-
ward, intending to have joined some other ladies, when Miss
Churchill's palfrey, animated at the example, and impatient of the
rein, sprang forward at a full gallop. The lady screamed out, and^
after some awkward efforts to retain her. seat, fell just as the duke
came up to her assistance. She sustained no injury from the acci-
dent; but the derangement of her dress discovered a figure so
exquisitely proportioned, as to make ample compensation for the
want of a more beautiful face. The duke renewed his attentions
with the redoubled ardour, and it was soon perceived that his assi-
duities were not unsuccessful.

The offspring of this attachment were two sons and two daughters.

The eldest son was the celebrated James Fitz-James, duke of Ber-

I '

wick ; the younger, Henry Fitz- James, was grand-prior of France,
and after the revolution in England was, by his father, created
duke of Albemarle. Henrietta, the eldest daughter, married Lord
Waldegrave; and the younger daughter, whose name is not pre-
served, took the veil.

Miss Churchill was afterward married to Colonel Charles God-
frey, comptroller of the household, and master of the jewel-office,
by whom she had two daughters. She died in May, 1730, at the
age of eighty-two.

honourable country gentleman, to the uncertainty of public splen*
dour, and the inevitable solicitudes which attend it. He remained
there for thirty years improving his estate by neighbouring pur-
chases, and in 1692 relinquished his principal seat, with its de-
mesne, to his eldest son, and removed to the town of Stamford, in
Lincolnshire, where he died in August, 1 707. By his lady, of whose

Elizabeth Elstob was born at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in 1683,
Her mother, who was a great admirer of learning, especially in her
own sex, observed the particular fondness which her daughter had
for books, and omitted nothing that might tend to her improve-
ment ; but having, the misfortune to lose this indulgent parent, -
when about eight years of age, she was left to the care of a guardian, ■
who imagined one tongue was sufficient for any woman^ With som^ ,
difficulty, however, she obtained leave to learn French ; and ia .;
time, by incessant study, became an excellent linguist, being not
only mistress of her own and the Latin, but also of seven other :
languages.

Mrs. Elstob translated from the French, Madame Scudery^fc :
** Essay on Glory." — ^In 1713, she published " Some Testimomet >
of learned Men, in fieivour of an intended edition of the Saxoi ^
Homilies." A few of these homilies were printed at Oxford, in .
folio ; but she did not find encouragement to go on with the work.
In 1715 she published a Saxon Grammar; but on the death of her
brother she was reduced tp poverty, and kept a school at Evesham.
Queen Caroline gave her a pension, which ceased at the death of
her majesty. After this she vras taken into the family of the
Dutchess of Portland as a governess. She died of a cancer in 17M.

canonical habit, to be whipped twice in three days by the common
hangman, and to stand in the pillory at Westminster Hall gate, and
at the Royal Exchange. He was, moreover, to be pilloried five
times every year, and to be imprisoned during life. The hangman
performed his office with uncommon rigour. The best thing
James ever did, was punishing Oates for his peijury ; and the
greatest thing Oates ever did, was supporting himself under the
most afflictive part of his punishment with the resolution and
constancy of a martyr. A pension of 400/. a year was conferred
upon this miscreant by King William. He was, for a clergyman,
remarkably illiterate ; but there have been published under his
name, "A Narrative of the Popish Plot;" ** The Merchandise of

continued until the erpimtion of his time ; but no sooner did he
become his own master, than he gave way to a very irregular course
of life ; and committed numerous depredations on the public pre-
vious to commencing a confirmed highwayman.

Meeting a gentleman on Bagshot-heatb, he commanded him to-
stand and deliver, to which the other replied, '' 'Tis well you
spoke first ; for I was just going to say the same thing to you.''
'•Why, are you a gentleman thief, then V quoth Whitney. ** Yes,"
said the stranger, •' but I have had very bad success to-day.''
Whitney upou this wished him better luck, and took his leave,
really supposing him to be what he pretended. — ^t night it was
the fortune of Whitney a^d this person to put up at the same inn,
when our gentleman told some other travellers, by what stra-
tagem he bad escaped being robbed on the road. Whitney had so.,
altered his habit and speech, that the gentleman did not know him
again; so that he heard all the story, without being taken notice'
of. Among other things, he heard him tell one of the company
softly, that he had saved 100/. by his contrivance. The person
to whom he had whispered this, was going the same road the next
morning, and said, he had also a considerable sum about him, and
if he pleased, should be glad to travel with him for security.

When morning came, the travellers set out, and Whitney in

about ft quarter of an hour, after them ; all the discoiurse of the

gentlemen was about cheating the highwaymen, if they should meet

any. When Whitney, at a convenient place, had got before them,

and bid them stand, the gentleman whom he met before, not know-

bg him, he having disguised himself in another manner, briskly

cried out, '^ We wore going to say the same thing to you. Sir."

" Were you so ?" quoth Whitney, *' and are you of my profession,

then?" *' Yes," said both. " If you are," replied Whitney, « I

suppose you remember the old proverb, ' two of a trade can never

agree,' so that you must not expect any favour on that score. But*

to be plain, gentlemen, the trick will do no longer ; I know you

very well, and must have your 100/. Sir; and your considerable

sum, Sir, turning to the other, let it be what it will, or I shall make

bold to send a brace of bullets through each of your heads. You, ,

Mr. Highwayman, should have kept your secret a little longer, and

not have boasted so soon of having outwitted a thief; there is no- .

thing for you to do, but deliver or die." — These terrible words put

them both in a sad consternation ; they'were loath to lose their money,

but more loath to lose their lives ; so, of two evils they chose the

176 BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY

least; the telltale coxcomb disbursing fais 100/« and the other
a somewhat larger sum, professing that they would be careful for
the future not to count without their host.

Whitney always affected to appear generous and noble : meeting
one day with a gentleman on Newmarket-heath, whose name was
Long, and having robbed him of 100/. in silver, which was in his
portmanteau, tied up in a great bag, the gentleman told him he had
a great way to go, and, as he was unknown upon the road, should
meet with many difficulties, if he did not return as much as would
bear his expenses. Whitney opened the mouth of the bag, and
holding it to Mr. Long, *^ Here,*' says he, ** take what you have
occasion for.'' Mr. Long put in his hand, and took as much as he
could hold: to which Whitney made no opposition, but only said with
a smile, ** I thought you would have had more conscience, Sir."

After running a course of adventures on the road for upwards of
thirteen years, he was apprehended on the information of Mother
Cozens, who kept a house of ill-fame in MiHbrd-lane, near St. Cle-
ment's church. The magistrate, who took the information, committed
him to Newgate, where he remained till the next sessions at the Old
Bailey, when he was brought to trial and found guilty. The recorder
in passing sentence of death on him, exhorted him to a sincere re-
pentance, as it was impossible for him to hope for any reprieve, after
such a course of villanies ; and, on Wednesday, the 19th of Dec.
1694, he was carried to the place of execution, which was at Por-
ter's Block, near Smithfield, where he hung, being about thirty-
four years of age.

William Fuller was the son of Robert Fuller, the second son of
Dr. Tliomas Fuller, and was bom at Oxford in the year 1634 His
mother was the daughter of the Honourable Charles Herbert, esq.
of Montgomeryfihire, in Wales.

Being of an intriguing and ambitious nature, he was guilty of
iBiany tricks and frauds, to obtain those expensive habits, which
fortune had not enabled him honestly to acquire ; the most remark-
able of which was a pretended correspondence with King James
the Second, after his abdication ; for which he was censured hy

the TOlet of botb houses of pariiament, and ordered to be prose-
cuted; on which he was tried, found guilty, and sentenced,
'' That he should go to all the courts in Westminster, with a paper
pained on his hat, expressing his crime ; that he should stand three
times in the pillory, two hours at a time, on Friday following, at
Charing^*cross ; on Saturday, at Temple-bar; and on Monday,
before the Royal Exchange ; that he should be sent to Bridewell
the Friday after, and there be whipt ; and afterward kept to hard
Uboar, notil the second day of the next term ; and be fined a thou-
sand marks.''

Whatever might have been the extent of his guilt, his punish-
ment bore pace with it; being, according to the following account
(written by himself), far worse than death itself. '' All this was
eiecoted; and at my standing in the pillory, never was man, amongst
Turks or Barbarians, known to be worse used. I was sadly abused
at Charing^-oross ; but at Temple-bar I was stifled with all manner
of dirt, and rotten eggs ; and my left eye was so bruised, with a
I itone flung, that it swelled out of my head immediately ; the blow
deprived me of my senses, and I fell down and hung by the neck.
Three times was I served in that kind, losing all manner of sense,
though I fell down but twice ; and being almost dead, I was by
order taken out, but felt not my release ; nor was I sensible of any
thbg for some hours after. I was a miserable object to behold,
and hardly any that saw me thought it possible for me to survive.
I was all over bruised from head to heel ; and on the small of my
back, as I was stooping, a stone struck me, which being taken up.
Was found to weigh more than six pounds. On Monday, in the
city, I was more tenderly used ; after having made a complaint to
Sir James Bateman, then sheriff.

The days of punishment were, Friday the 25th, Saturday 26th,
and Monday the 28th of June, 1702.

RICHARD DUGDALE; awood-cut; Ato. prefia^ed
to a tracts entitled^ " The Surey Demoniacky or the
wonderful dealings ofSatariy about the person of Richard
Dugdale/'^x.

In a very artful narrative, drawn up by several confederated Pu-
ritans, it appears that Richard Dugdale, by profession a gardener,
at a merry-making, called the Rush-burying, or Rush-bearing, held

178 BIOGRAPHICAL fflStORY

on the James-tide, at Whalley, in Lancashil-e, in the year 1688;
had offered himself to the devil, on condition of his becoming an
expert dancer ;— -from which time he was dreadfully troubled with
strange fits ; dancing in a most ancommon manner on his knees,
and in other ways, greatly superior to the most expert dancers ; at
which times he would be so light in weight, as to be lifted from the
ground by the buttons of hi& clothes ; and the next instant so heavy,
that seven men couM not stir him.

Every physical method was tried on him, without effect ; and it
was not until one year after, that he obtained relief, from the united
efforts pf a Mr. Jolly, and five other puritan divines. The account
of which, together with the affidavits of many witnesses, was pub-'
lished in the year 1697, in a tract, entitled, " The Surey Demoniack,
or the wonderful dealings of Satan, about the person of Richard
Dugdale." — In the same year, Zachary Taylor answered it in a
tract, called " The Surey Impostor," in which he most clearly
proves the whole to be a cheat, and compares the story to that of
William Summers and the Boy of Bilson. This produced a third
tract by T. Jolly, called " A Vindication of the Surey Demoniack,>
as no Impostor," which is little more than a revisal of the first ;'
with an addition of Richard Dugdale s confession, sworn nine years'
after his being first afflicted ; but the whole is too weak in all its
evidences not to be seen through as a contrivance to raise the re-
putation of the Puritans.

committed by a French Midwife on the body of her Husband ;" 4to.
1688.

I shall conclude this reign, with observing, that Lord Bacon has
somewhere remarked, that biography has been confined within too
narrow limits; as if the lives of great personages only deserved
the notice of the inquisitive part of mankind. I have, perhaps, in
the foregoing strictures, extended the sphere of it too far : I began
with monarchs, and have ended with ballad-singers, chimney-
sweepers, and beggars. But they that fill the highest and lowest
classes of human life, seem, in rnaiiy respects, to be more nearly
\ allied than even themselves imagine. A skilful anatomist would
I find little or no difference, in dissecting the body of a king and that
:' of the meanest of his subjects; and a judicious philosopher would
discover a surprising conformity, in discussing the nature and qua-
lities of their minds.*
